I got so annoyed by the keyboard freeze and banking on "something else" is causing the issue, I erased my 18.04 and reinstalled it yesterday evening. Now in the morning, I started using Ubuntu again for typing. It was fine for a couple of hours. But now the freeze has come back.
I have not installed even GIMP or Inkscape. Only thing I have added is official deb files of Google Chrome and Opera, and VLC from the store. Other than that, whatever Ubuntu provides by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807056 Title: Occasional Keyboard freeze Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/907 --- I am using 18.04 and sometimes, whatever I type does not work. It is as if there is no keyboard connected while I have my laptop keyboard and an external keyboard connected to the machine. I even enabled On Screen Keyboard and tried to type through it. Same result.
