I also had the same symptoms, under KDE Kubuntu / Gutsy. I could enter my password at the login screen (kdm?) but by the time the desktop loaded, the keyboard was non-functional (not even caps-lock toggled the LED), though mouse was fine. After lots of trial and error, I narrowed it down to the presence of $HOME/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc which for me, contained:
[Keyboard] GestureConfirmation=false Gestures=true SlowKeys=true Moving the file out the way solved the problem. Seeing this reminded me that I probably caused this myself by choosing "Deactivate All Gestures" from the dialogue after randomly hitting the shift key lots of times - but it wasn't until I rebooted a number of weeks later that the problem surfaced. I guess it can't be the same problem for the Gnome users here, but maybe it'll give some clues. Sorry if it's a red-herring. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
