This has occurred consistently with two different re-installs. I re-downloaded the ISO and re-flashed the USB drive this time just in case.
This is my third time re-installing. The fact that Windows XP consistently works with the keyboard and touchpad, that the keyboard works until after selection has been made from the boot menu to start Lubuntu, and that the touchpad and keyboard work when booting from the USB, all tell me it isn't the hardware. And even if one of the circuits were not working in the keyboard, I'd get either sections of keyboard not working but still able to press other keys, numberlock and caplock lights not working or staying on continuously, an audible beeping tone from the machine from the keyboard buffer being overloaded, or I wouldn't be able to access and navigate the BIOS. This laptop was hardly used by its previous owner, they had Alzheimer's and only used it to read their e-sword Bible program and occasionally type a few notes and prayer lists until they couldn't anymore. Hopefully the issue was more to do with a corrupt ISO image, but from the other posts, it looks more like something to do with updates to the synaptics driver. I will let you know if it happens again. The "standby" machine (not the same one) I have DOES have a bad keyboard and is awaiting a transplant I ordered (it is a much faster computer - Toshiba Duo Core 64bit, 4GB RAM) $11.00 US for a brand new replacement keyboard is worth the risk but I don't want to get my hopes up for it - its an abused machine - some people just don't get that you shouldn't eat over a keyboard. (I've tried Mint on it - so far no issues). It should be here in a couple days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827734 Title: Touchpad and Keyboard stop working on Lubuntu 18.04.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1827734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
