[Bug 1868179] Re: Typing in virtualbox during installation does not work

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. for Ubuntu you
can use https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help
with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

Please note your issue I suspect relates to configuration/settings on
your HOST OS which will be off-topic on many Ubuntu sites.

The fact that it impacts all ISOs you mention also increases weight on
it the common cause, possibly your vbox config/settings.

Title:
  Typing in virtualbox during installation does not work

Status in Virtualbox:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried to install Ubuntu 19.10, 20.04 and 18.04.4LTS in virtualbox
  6.1 on MacOS Catalina. The installating packages starts, the mouse
  works, so I can navigate all the way through to the user account
  creation screen. However, I cannot input anything using the keyboard.
  I can drag the dialogue text into the text fields but not delete/add
  by typing into the field. All keyboard input is ignored. I use the
  standards laptop keyboard of the mac which otherwise works fine. Since
  it fails in all versions specified above it is likely to be related to
  the combination of VirtualBox, MacOS and the ubuntu installe package.
