<br><br>I confirmed this today and thought I'd share with the group. Here are the details:<br><br><a href="http://communities.vmware.com/message/1515622#1515622" target="_blank">http://communities.vmware.com/message/1515622#1515622</a><br>
<br>I had similar problem in that the mouse worked on the gdm login screen
but the keyboard did not. I was able to login using the on-screen
keyboard. <br>
<br>
I enabled the on-screen keyboard via the universal access preferences,
(little man-in-circle button on gdm screen). Also had to reboot to get
the keyboard to display properly. Once logged in the regular keyboard
worked fine.<br>
<br>
I found the :0-greeter.log file in /var/log/gdm had errors complaining
about not find symbols for "U.S. English" keyboard layout in us
keyboard file. A little grepping later finds "U.S. English" is set in
/etc/default/console-setup. <br>

Reboot and keyboard now works at login. Don't know if this is VMware's
or Ubuntu's fault during install, since I used the auto install process
in Workstation 7. Sounds like it could be VMware related as a manual
install seems to avoid this.<br>
