Confirmed on Dell OptiPlex 745 PC, 2.6.24-16 (also tried 2.6.24-19), with Apple Slim keyboard.
Solved by pressing F6 twice after each reboot and painting the Num Lock key red so that I never press it again This is an very annoying and striking issue. I can't help the sarcasm, but I just feel frustrated after months of trying to use the Apple Wireless keyboard -- how long is it going to take before I can get the patched somewhere-between-2.4.26-and-2.4.26 kernel through the usual channels (apt-get) without having to compile the kernel just to use a keyboard with my Ubuntu? -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the "numlock" key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux in Ubuntu Hardy: Fix Committed Bug description: I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Beta) when I first boot up the alphabet keys work perfectly, but once I type in the numpad or a number, nothing happens. After nothing happens I'm not able to use my alpha keys, either.. When I type alphabet keys after trying a number the alphabet keys produce numbers like '4' and '3'.. And many of the keys don't do anything.. I have tried setting the keyboard up as default, and as an Apple keyboard by going to System > Prefs > Keyboard -- but nothing works. If i then unplug the keyboard to reboot the keys usually work fine until I hit a number key or the keypad again. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
