I too have this problem. I have a IBM Thinkpad T42p laptop and have seen this issue with other distributions as well.
When I log on to Gnome, NumLock enabled for some reason on laptops keyboard. The actual login screen works as expected. Now, if I press the NumLock button after login, it's disabled and the keyboard works as expected. However, if I now press CapsLock, the alphanumeric buttons stop working and are effectively dead. Switching to a virtual console and back to X always resets the keyboard so that it works as expected. The keyboard also works as expected when booting into console-only single user mode. -- NumLock gets enabled unexpectedly on my laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
