Ok more clues. My keyboard is a Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard. It has lots of features, which present themselves to Linux as various devices. The regression somewhere around that. And it's a userspace regression, the same kernel with Ubuntu 17.04 works fine.
If I connect a very plain USB keyboard that works fine, it's only the G15 that's giving problems. So here's xinput from a Ubuntu where it works: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Razer Razer DeathAdder Chroma id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Razer Razer DeathAdder Chroma id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ G15 Gaming Keyboard id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ G15 Gaming Keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Razer Razer DeathAdder Chroma id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ G15 GamePanel LCD id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Eee PC WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ** Summary changed: - [artful] Keyboard doesn't work after logging in to gnome + [artful] Keyboard Logitech G15 doesn't work after logging in to gnome -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717340 Title: [artful] Keyboard Logitech G15 doesn't work after logging in to gnome To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1717340/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
