Oh for my above problem that is still showing I do have both xserver- common and xserver-xorg-core from pitti's sru-test ppa.
My vmware setup might be slightly different than others in that I upgraded today from fully up to date Karmic 64bit to Lucid 64bit using update-manager -d. After rebooting I no longer had keyboard access at gdm and found this bug report. My /etc/default/console-setup has: XKBMODEL="SKIP" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="U.S. English" XKBOPTIONS="" At GDM where it doesn't work (from the command line check) it shows up as: _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "U.S. English", "" In Gnome where it does work it shows up as: _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "" It also appears the virtual keyboard is very fragile and crashes after trying to turn it on and off, maybe related to 526791, but I am using VMware 7.0.1 on a ThinkPad X200 not a Macbook. -- keyboard input broken due to invalid "SKIP" keyboard model 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
