I have the same problem after updates on the latest VMware player on Win 7 64 and on the latest VMware fusion on Snow Leopard. Initial beta install worked fine but updates killed the keyboard for the login screen. I was able to use the on-screen keyboard to login after enabling it and rebooting.
For the fusion VM I was able to get the keyboard input back by doing the following: System->Preferences->Keyboard On the Layouts tab I set the keyboard vendor to Apple and the model to Apple laptop (I'm on a MacBook Pro) and then applied system wide and rebooted. I haven't tried similar steps on the Win host yet. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 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
