@Daniel bug exists in default 20.04 which uses Gnome. Then I installed Kubuntu Desktop through Synaptic package manager. Started using Kubuntu through login session option, replacing GDM with SSDM. In such a case, no keyboard freeze occurs.
In short, Download the latest Ubuntu 20.04 ISO from Ubuntu.com and do a fresh install of 20.04, the bug exists. -- 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: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/907 --- I am using 18.04 and sometimes, whatever I type does not work.
