Package: virtualbox Version: 4.2.16-dfsg-3+b1 Followup-For: Bug #651250 It also happens to me with a recent version with a spanish keyboard too using the VNC extension (as vboxheadless no longer accepts --vnc as parameter).
I noted that setting the keyboard in the guest OS (a WinXP in my case) as en_US solves some but not all of the issues: characters not usually found on American keyboards can not be typed, but those which not need AltGr can be typed using the Spanish keystrokes: '(' is Shift+8 for me, Shift+9 for americans. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages virtualbox depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.16.12 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libcurl3 7.33.0-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.1-10 ii libgsoap3 2.8.12-2 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-5 ii libpython2.7 2.7.5-8 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-7 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-3 ii libstdc++6 4.8.1-10 ii libvncserver0 0.9.9+dfsg-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-3 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1 ii python 2.7.5-5 ii python2.7 2.7.5-8 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages virtualbox recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 9.1.7-1 ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii virtualbox-dkms 4.2.16-dfsg-3 ii virtualbox-qt 4.2.16-dfsg-3+b1 Versions of packages virtualbox suggests: pn vde2 <none> ii virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 4.2.16-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
