A pretty simple (lazy) answer from VMware, I think ... They will have to solve that issue anyway. This is the list of "officially supported host systems" for Ubuntu and Suse (source: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws6_ace2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm):
---------- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP4 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, 9 SP1, 9 SP2, 9 SP3 (Listed versions are also supported with no service pack.) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, stock 2.4.19 openSUSE 10.3 openSUSE 10.2 (formerly known as SUSE Linux 10.2) SUSE Linux 10.1 SUSE Linux 10 SUSE Linux 9.3 SUSE Linux 9.2, SP1) SUSE Linux 9.1 — stock 2.6.4-52 SUSE Linux 9.0 — stock 2.4.21-99 SUSE Linux 8.2 — stock 2.4.20 Ubuntu Linux 7.04 Ubuntu Linux 6.10 Ubuntu Linux 6.06 Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Ubuntu Linux 5.04 ---------- Maybe its useful if someone can confirm that this issue is also present on one of those distros. I would believe that is has no connection to the distro, but to the kernel? -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
