I've had this problem occur on my workstation a few week ago, and I'm still running Gutsy and VMWare Server 1.0.4. A co-worker just had this happen with Hardy / VMWare Server 1.0.5, and then, after upgrading VMWare Server, VMWare Server 1.0.6. (So, this problem spans beyond a single version of Ubuntu or VMWare Server).
I've avoided recurrences of this problem by being very diligent to always leave the VM by pressing <control>-<alt> to make VMWare Console give up control. -- 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
