VB 5.2.10 keyboard mapping problem

[pyronina]

Hi - I am totally new to VirtualBox. I have just installed rel 5.2.10 on my Oracle Lunix 6 server. I hit NEW to CREATE A VM, but when I went to type in the NAME:______ The keys I was typing do not match what is appearing on the screen. Typing" asdf shows up as: 2y57 for example. What's up? Keyboard mapping problem?

Yes. Check your keyboard layout. *Always* install the US keyboard in your OS. As your primary input method. Your local should be an option. I do the same on all my hosts/guests. First the US, then the Greek, Greek polytonic, Unicode.
