Hi, Just to outline the situation I have: I have a Windows 7 laptop which i use as a host for a guest operating system Linux Mint Maya 13, in Virtualbox (v 4.3.20).
I have installed xrdp in the Linux guest to allow me to use Windows Remote desktop to access the guest OS via a second physical PC. The second physical PC is running Windows 8.1 and is a tablet/laptop with detachable keyboard. I want to be able to use the onscreen keyboard (Onboard) on the tablet without having to have the physical keyboard attached. The first problem I have is that i need to have the physical keyboard attached to my tablet in order to type into the xrdp login screen. The second problem I have is when I am remoted onto the Linux guest via Remote Desktop (xrdp) from the second physical PC, I cannot get the onboard keyboard to work correctly. Most of the keys are showing the "?" character and the space bar shows the message "No X keyboard found, retrying...". As i say this is only a problem when remoting onto the guest OS via Remote Desktop (xrdp). I have tested this theory by using a 3rd PC and Remote Desktop and have the same issue as with the other computer. I also have a third issue which also seems to only be present when connected via xrdp, i cannot change the physical keyboard layout from US to UK as all of the options are greyed out. I have tested this by logging into the guest OS via the host physically and can see the keyboard layout is set to UK, and all of the options are available to me. So again the issue only seems to be present when connecting to the Linux guest via xrdp. In xrdp I use the sesman X-VNC module, as this is the only option which allows me to login to the Linux system. I hope I have explained the situation clearly to you and welcome any further questions you have to clarify anything. I look forward to your response.
