Keyboard num-keys not working in VirtualBox Ubuntu guest

The solution that works for me is by disabling 'Mouse Keys'.
  • Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard.
  • In Mouse Keys tab, un-tick 'Pointer can be controlled using keypad'

OMG, this did work for me!
And it was REALLY strange, because I already had this turned off, but had to turn in on AND off again. That was weird.
But hey, thanks to you!
