I confirmed this today and thought I'd share with the group. Here are the details:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1515622#1515622 I had similar problem in that the mouse worked on the gdm login screen but the keyboard did not. I was able to login using the on-screen keyboard. I enabled the on-screen keyboard via the universal access preferences, (little man-in-circle button on gdm screen). Also had to reboot to get the keyboard to display properly. Once logged in the regular keyboard worked fine. I found the :0-greeter.log file in /var/log/gdm had errors complaining about not find symbols for "U.S. English" keyboard layout in us keyboard file. A little grepping later finds "U.S. English" is set in /etc/default/console-setup. <from original file> XKBMODEL="SKIP" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="U.S. English" XKBOPTIONS="" <changed to this, matching other linux installs> XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" Reboot and keyboard now works at login. Don't know if this is VMware's or Ubuntu's fault during install, since I used the auto install process in Workstation 7. Sounds like it could be VMware related as a manual install seems to avoid this.
