VMware workstation keybindings fix in Ubuntu Intrepid
angch — Fri, 22/05/2009 - 20:22
Up/down keys, etc are not mapped properly in a machine hosted by Intrepid, when it was okay running under Hardy.
One fix was to .vmware/preferences, add:
hint.xkeymap.notLocal = "FALSE"
xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = trueForgot where I got the above from. VMware server uses .vmware/config, if I remember correctly. Also VMware will pop up a warning when you start it.

VMware Causing Keyboard Issues in Ubuntu
helmi — Fri, 15/08/2008 - 16:15
Previously to solve, I Log Out and then Log In again. But you better give this a try
- open terminal
- type: setxkbmap
- put your cursor over the VMWare title bar, but not in the client window. Then Press Ctrl-g Ctrl-Alt. (This grabs and un-grabs the keyboard).

Use the above to force Firefox 3.01 to install VMware's .xpi for the console.
