virtualbox.org

Hi!

I've just installed virtualbox 2.1 on windows xp machine, setting up latest kubuntu as guest. I've installed guest additions too.

The problem I'm experiencing is that when typing for example 'ubuntu' i get 'ubuuuuuuntttttu'. Keys are multiplicated.

I've searched this forum but I've only found outdated informations that this bug will be fixed in vbox 1.x (I'm on 2.1) and a hint to turn off hyperthreading in bios (which I didn't found in my bios settings).

Any hints?

Did you try the new 2.1.2 and it's GA? There is a fix for the keyboard when the GA are installed.

Thanks for answer. I didn't but I've just got a report from a person who uses that problematic vbox that the problem disappeared... probably after a restart. The person said that there was no update of vbox or GA.

If you installed it today, then chances are that you already got the latest.
