thanks for posting this workaround: echo 'xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true' >> ~/.vmware/config
i got this one-time warning after vmware (6.5.1 build-126130, host: Ubuntu Intrepid, guest: Windows XP) restart: A language-specific mapping from X keysyms to machine scancodes will be used, based on the detected keyboard type of "de101", because you are not using an XFree86 server running on the local machine. However, this program's language-specific mapping may not be correct for your keyboard in all the details, because X keyboard mappings vary. You can override specific key mappings in the virtual-machine configuration. For more information, please see VMware Workstation documentation available on our Web site at "http://vmware.com/info?id=10";. but the workaround solved to use DELETE, INSERT etc. with vmware again. - Moo -- VMWare keyboard mapping made incorrect on recent Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 Updates -dated Fri Oct 24 2008 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
