Bug Description

With 14.10 running on VirtualBox, I cannot enter my passphrase. See the attached image clipped.png. Nothing happens no matter what I press. I have to hit reset, then I get a more text-based interface on the 2nd time around, which I can use. See attachment "text based.png".

This 14.10 is a guest under VirtualBox 4.3.20. This also happened with 4.3.18.

14.04 works fine as a guest in the same VirtualBox environments. Windows 8.1 x64 is the VirtualBox server.
