I have also run into this bug on the latest version of Hardy using VMWare Server 1.0.4 build-56528. The guest is windows xp pro, with vmware tools installed.
This seems to be consistently reproducible by first giving the virtual machine control of the mouse and keyboard (clicking on the virtual machine console) and then switching to full screen mode (ctrl-alt- enter). Switching to full screen when the host has control of the keyboard and mouse does not cause the error. Here are a few other symptoms that might help track it down. - When this happens, typing in certain programs (e.g. the address bar in nautilus) cause them to freeze and/or crash - ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing - ctrl-alt-F* seem to be the same as alt-F* except that F1 and F2 also crash Metacity - Restarting X (by logging out and back in) fixes the problem Hope this helps someone to fix this very annoying bug. -- keyboard shift control stop workin when using vmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187165 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
