Hey guys, I just started messing around with virtual machines and have installed ubuntu10.04 using VMware workstation 7, I'm running windows 7. I'm having a problem with the keyboard. Ubuntu 10.04 is not responding to my keyboard. I get stuck on the log on screen, at first I though it was just a problem with my usb keyboard but the laptop keyboard doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I just posted exactly the same problem about 1 hour ago. Booting to root shell is fine, there is no problem with the keyboard if you do that, but then after trying "startx" to bring up the desktop the keyboard is unresponsive (mouse works though).

Looking through the upgrade experience thread it seems that having no keyboard and/or mouse after the upgrade is something a number of people have experienced. I haven't seen yet an explanation or a solution.
