I had once a similar problem (with gdm not responding to the keyboard) on my real Ubuntu (not Lucid though), I hacked around by using a MagicSysRq Key. More precisely the one which switches to Raw Keyboard Mode(Alt-SysRq-r), which allowed to switch to TTY1. Then in TTY1, I reinstalled Hal (but Hal doesn't exist in Lucid).
Maybe something similar could be used to work around and access the virtual consoles. -- Lucid vmware keyboard not functioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
