I have installed VirtualBox 2.1.0 on Windows XP SP3 host and Ubuntu 8.10 as guest.
Keyboard (non-US) is working OK on host and on guest before upgrading to 2.1.0 from 2.0.6 version. But after installing Guest Additions keyboard is working properly on host, but on Ubuntu US-keyboard is working despite my local language keyboard settings in guest.
I have remove guest additions by using info from this forum:
Code: Select all
sudo find /etc -name "*vboxadd*" -exec rm {} \;
sudo find /etc -name "*vboxvfs*" -exec rm {} \;
sudo rm -r /usr/src/vboxadd-*
sudo rm -r /usr/src/vboxvfs-*
sudo rm /usr/sbin/vboxadd-timesync
sudo rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vboxadd.ko
sudo rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vboxvfs.ko
I reinstalled guest additions and US-keyboard reappeared again.
So it looks like a bug in guest additions.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there any work-around?
Thanks
