Keyboard not working in 5.1.6

[digipeep]

Hi, I've been running VirtualBox 5.0.x for ages with no issues. Today I've installed 5.1.6.

I've tried to create a new VM but unable to enter the name of the Virtual Machine. In fact looks like any keyboard input to 5.1.6 does not work.

When starting VB 5.1.6 I get this message:

$ virtualbox &
[1] 5226
$ Qt WARNING: Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
Qt WARNING: Qt: Could not determine keyboard configuration data from X server, will use hard-coded keymap configuration.
Qt WARNING: Qt: Failed to compile a keymap!
Qt WARNING: Current XKB configuration data search paths are:
Qt WARNING: /usr/share/X11/xkb
Qt WARNING: Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environmental variable to provide an additional search path, add ':' as separator to provide several search paths and/or make sure that XKB configuration data directory contains recent enough contents, to update please see

I've never had an issue with this before.

Is this a bug?

Host is Red Hat 5.11 2.6.18-404.el5

Of course you didn't. VirtualBox 5.1.x uses Qt5. Check your Fedora repository on how to install it? It certainly doesn't sound like a VirtualBox bug per se...
