| VirtualBox already knows how to share the mouse and keyboard with the Linux workstation. If you attach them directly to the virtual machine then those devices will no longer be accessible to Linux. You won't be able to click on anything outside the VirtualBox windows, nor will you be able to detach them from your virtual machine, until you shut your virtual machine down. If you accidentally attach your mouse or keyboard, first shut down and restart your virtual machine. If that doesn't work, ask an IT staff member for help. | VirtualBox already knows how to share the mouse and keyboard with the Linux workstation.

If you accidentally attach your mouse or keyboard, first shut down and restart your virtual machine. (NOTE: Actually choose ''Shutdown'', not ''Reboot''. You want the virtual machine to exit and the windows to disappear, then you want to click the ''Start'' button in the VirtualBox application to bring everything back. Simply clicking ''Reboot'' won't do the trick.) If that doesn't work, ask an IT staff member for help. |
