[solved]Numeric pad

Postby Binome » 3. Nov 2009, 16:44

Hi,
here is my configuration:
- VB: 3.0.10
- Host: Windows XP SP3 32 bits
- Guest: Kubuntu 9.10 32 bits with 3.0.10 GA installed

The problem is that the numeric pad is not working, I have to use the line on top of the letters on my keyboard to type the digits.

Is there someone who can help me?

Thanks

Is this via vRDP using rdesktop or local?

ctrl shift numlock

Your numpad is making your mouse move, you can also go to system/preferences/keyboard,[mouse keys] tab and uncheck the box.


Something is more than likely set wrong in Kubuntu. The above is just one thing taken from the Ubuntu Forums but there are more. Have a look in the settings of Kubuntu and search the Ubuntu forums for more information.
