JamesE, thank you for your comments. For now, I'm going to this over to lightdm (Ubuntu), please reassign if not the correct. However, I would not mark this a duplicate of another report, or vice versa unless noted otherwise by a developer.
As well, you may want to try providing any helpful information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Debugging_LightDM . ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => lightdm (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Undecided ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263504 Title: [Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312] At login, have to click on icon to activate keyboard Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. This morning, I couldn't type my password in at the login prompt. It was as if the keyboard was not being recognized. I verified that there was a prompt in the password box, so it's not an input focus issue. What's interesting is that if I hit Capslock, a capslock warning icon appears in the password box, so obviously the keyboard is functioning, but just not allowing me to type my password in. [Workaround] However, if I mouse click on the on-screen keyboard icon at the top of the screen (the icon's shaped like a little man), and then click back on the password box, keyboard input is recognized and I can finally type my password in. Once logged in, the keyboard works fine. I think this is not a keyboard driver issue, but a login screen issue.
