Public bug reported:
I was just trying to install 64-bit 14.04 LTS. Due to a video bug in the
default installation image, I had to boot to a terminal instead of the
usual Unity GUI. The video bug is actually fixed already, but I needed
to download it. So I just did "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo
apt-get upgrade". After the latter command, the keyboard (both internal
and external) could only get keys through to the terminal about 40% of
the time. In other words, I would need to press the same letter 2 or 3
times before it would appear on the screen. What's worse, the actual
command that the terminal received was different than both (1) what I
actually typed and (2) what appeared on the screen. So for example, I
would type "poweroff" as "pppppoooowweeeroooooffffffffff". It would
appear as "poweroff", but then the terminal would complain that there
was no such command as "ppooweroofff". I finally gave up and rebooted.
Everything works fine now, even in a terminal. But I've repeated this
experiment a few times, immediately after a fresh install, and it always
happens.
