hi all, you will not see big letters in my comment because of the shift problem. i am using intrepid as host which is updated to kernel 2.6.27-8-generic, vmware is version 2.0. before i even start any of the vm machines, i have problem with the keyboard. yes, vmware service is started. in gnome-terminal, when i press shift, it changes from filled square to non filled square. i can't press shift characters and workaround is to press alt, then press shift, then release alt and then desired letter. with this trick i can enter my password now.
i used solution 2. from here http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/vmware-and-fubar-keyboard-effect.html and keyboard is working in my vmware machines (winxp pro sp3), but not in my host linux. strange thing is this happened yesterday. setxkbmap didn't worked for me. i am using only croatian keyboard layout on my lenovo r60 with ati video card. keyboard is working ok in my console ctrl-alt-f5 -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
