Repeating keystrokes Ubuntu 12.10 on OS X 10.8

[filiusvitae]

Hi,

I am experiencing some strangeness while trying to set up Ubuntu server 12.10 64 bits in VirtualBox on my OS X Server 10.8.2.

During the installation process, and subsequent boot process I am all but unable to use the keyboard due to the keystrokes being repeated an (seemingly) arbitrary number of times. I have to wait 3-5 seconds after pressing any key before pressing a new one to avoid the first keystroke being repeated.

Obviously this is a big problem when typing in passwords and using the keyboard to navigate the installation. However, the bigger problem is that I am setting up two encrypted partitions with 20+ character passwords. It is nigh impossible to enter the correct passwords.

I have asked the google several times to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to fix or work around this?

I'm experiencing the same problem, have you been able to solve the problem?

Thanks
