Keyboard won't work when installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox
I have been installing Ubuntu through VirtualBox. I got all they way to where it prompts me to restart the computer. When I click "Restart" it tells me to remove installation media (if there is any) and then press enter. However, nothing occurs when I do so. I am assuming that it is not recognizing my keyboard.
Distribution: Debian Sid AMD64, Raspbian Wheezy, various VMs

Rep:
You could try clicking inside the VirtualBox window again in case focus was lost when Ubuntu returned to console mode. Otherwise I'd be tempted to select "reset" from the machine menu in VirtualBox and, if the system boots OK, try to use it.
I've seen similar things happen but as long as the OS installs I tend to ignore them.
