How can I use the keyboard to log on to the GUI after Ubuntu 10.04 is installed in VMware?

Scenario: download the latest version of VMware Workstation 7.01 to create a new virtual machine and install it with easy install. After the settings are complete, restart the virtual machine and go to system installation. After the installation, the VM restarts and enters the command line interface. The keyboard is available. After the GUI is loaded, the physical keyboard cannot be used.

Solution: Call the universal access preferences panel on the logon page, check the first option "use on-screen keyboard", and restart the VM:

 

After restarting the virtual machine, you can see the virtual keyboard:

Enter the password to log on, and the keyboard is available. Modify the configuration file to log on to the system by using the keyboard at the next boot.

Enter the following command on the terminal:

Sudo gedit etc/default/console-Setup

Change the last four rows:
Xkbmodel = "Skip"
Xkblayout = "us"
Xkbvariant = "U. S. English"
Xkboptions = ""
To:
Xkbmodel = "pc105"
Xkblayout = "us"
Xkbvariant = ""
Xkboptions = ""

Save and restart the VM.
