Hey guys...I'm seeing a very similar problem to this bug. I'm using karmic with latest updates on a 'regular' PC and an Apple bluetooth keyboard. This keyboard has no number pad at all and is very much like a laptop keyboard (which is what I select in the 'keyboard' preferences).
The symptoms are : 1) I can log in ok without having to do anything special, but 2) once logged in, it behaves as if the keyboard has been put into a number mode, so some of the letter keys actually produce numbers on the screen Pressing fn-f6 twice fixes the problem, but I would like to avoid having to do this. Any ideas?

Status in Mactel Support: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Hardy: Fix Released 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
