The bug happened to me as well on Jaunty which I have upgraded today. The "setxkbmap" worked fine for me.
This happened on a 64bits operating system, VMware workstation 6.5.0, and it had never occured to me on intrepid. After using the "setxkbmap" command, switching back and forth with the guest and host didn't turn off the key modifiers again but I haven't tested much yet. -- 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
