I just had the same problem and I can confirm that the "slow keys" feature was the reason for this. As the option "Allow to turn on accessibility features on and off from the keyboard" was set, I guess I accidentally enabled it with some obscure key combination (the help doesn't state which key combination would enable slow keys, though). It's not a bug, it's a feature :)
Seeing the amount of confusion this has created, there is apparently a need for some kind of notification bubble that informs users that are desperately hitting keys about this. -- keyboard not working after logging in via gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59616 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
