* keyboard layout: I have to be logged in via the on-screen keyboard in order to do the Ctrl+Alt+F1. After logging in and Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get the terminal screen I logged in and executed the requested 'sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop -root |grep NAMES.S' command. Here is the output:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "SKIP", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" * plymouth (splash screen): I have to be logged in in order to get a Ctrl+Alt+F1 text terminal, if I go back (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F7), I get back to my logged in session where the keyboard works normally(as it did before I went to the text terminal). If I wait long enough before going back from the text terminal I get the Ubuntu screensaver password dialog and I am able to type in my password there without problem. Ctrl+Alt+F8 from the text terminal goes to a blank text screen with a blinking cursor, but doesn't respond to any keyboard input. Interesting side note: If I login, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a text terminal, then resize my vmware window, it goes to the Ubuntu login screen, however, the keyboard input still doesn't work. "sudo apt-get purge plymouth" and a reboot did nothing to resolve the issue. * libxklavier when changing the password: Keyboard does not work before selecting a user. Cannot cursor up/down to select menu items after clicking power button icon. Cannot enter anything after selecting 'Other' user. 'Cap Lock' and 'Num Lock' do nothing. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
