Keyboard input and Mouse click caputer vanish after login into Unbutu 18.04

[hirsch]

Hi there,

I run the latest virtual box with a virtual Unbutu 18.04.

Everything worked fine, but after I tried to change keybord settings, I can't get into the host OS (Linux) anymore (auto capture keybord is active). The mouse pointer will still be captured, but no click will be entered in Linux. Even keyboard inputs will not be captured after I log into my account.

As long as I'm in the start screen, I can still enter my password and mouse clicks get captured, too: But after login, all actions on keyboard and mouse clicks will be ignored. Any idea, what I can do, now? Can't even install geust auditions, as I do not get into Linux anymore... The cd is inserted...

Any help on that issue?

After I logged in and try to send the shutdown signal, nothing happens.
I can only save the current state or turn off the machine without saving. ACPI will not work, too.

Best, hirsch

Remove the USB filters which are currently assigning ownership of those devices to a VM.

There are no USB filters activated. Somehow it seems like the switch to capture USB has broken. Is there a way to repair it?
I have a second machine running in the same VM which works like expected
No idea what I can do to bring back the machine so I can enter it...

Installed Virtual Box Extension Package and activated USB3 but it will not work. After login Linux will not grab the keybaord and mouse clicks anymore.

Maybe the slow-key option got somehow activated? Would try to check if it is enabled and disable it via terminal, but I do not know how. Does anyone know?

There is another user, having the some poblmens. Tried to catch genom settings, but as it is installed, i get this error message:

It is a bug in Genome 3.28.2

Fixed it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

which actually installed gnome 3.28.3 and now I can access my GUI again. It was actually no problem of VMware but Ubuntu distribution.
