 Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

 When I install a guest machine (anyone) in virtualbox-ose (actually it
 does not matter virtualbox or virtualbxo-ose, the situation is the same)
 under ubuntu 8.04 beta, I could not use my keyboard to input in guest
 machine. But if I uncheck the "enable complex character input" from
 language config window and reboot, keyboard is working in guest machine.
 However this method is not a ideal solution for me.
+
+ WORKAROUND:
+ In VirtualBox, go to File -> Preferences -> Input; then uncheck "Autocapture keyboard"
