vmware server : keyboard problems keywords : keyboard vmware server ubuntu keyboard cursor not work On some of my ubuntu-clients the vmware-client seems to have the wrong keyboard-mapping when connecting to vmware-server. I observed this with 7.10, 8.04, 8.10 and now 9.04 but not on all of this machines. Mainly laptops seems to be affected. Cursor-keys do not work, page up/down and the delete-key solution: as user that runs the vmware-client (or the firefox plugin) peform the following: $ setxkbmap $ echo "xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true" >> ~/.vmware/config dont forget to restart the console then.
