I am installing the above mentioned vm on my windows 7 system. While trying to install linux on the vm during the installation, after I press enter once and the installation begins, keyboard stops working in the vm and hence I cannot complete the installation (asks for root password and stuff).
I tried to google and find solution, but the various troubleshooting tips didn't help.

In the guest VM window, select Input, Keyboard, Soft Keyboard. Select the required keyboard layout.
To return ownership of keyboard and mouse to your host OS, Oracle VM VirtualBox reserves a special key on your keyboard: the Host key. By default, this is the right Ctrl key on your keyboard. On a Mac host, the default Host key is the left Command key.
When the keyboard and mouse input is captured in the virtual machine, you cannot move the pointer out of the virtual machine window and all keystrokes and button clicks go to the virtual machine. To release the keyboard and mouse back to the primary OS, press Ctrl+Alt.
The solution for me is to setup the "Mouse Integration" shortcut in File->Preferences->Input->Virtual Machine Tab and press the shortcut twice to toggle the Mouse Integration by working keyboard.
Power Off the VM and change the "Video Memory" under the Display module to 128 MB. In mine, I forgot to increase it and it was just 12 MB but after increasing it to 128 MB. It worked!
