I plugged another keyboard.
Nuttin...
In ssh(ed) into and looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Found (what I believe to be) some unrelated errors about a missing /dev/fb0
(video stuff). Still looking at that one...
I haven't boot a life CD cuz I didn't have one available, I will most likely
grab the 10.10 install today and bite the bullet and install it again.
Hate when that happens... :(
THANKS!

A couple of things to try:
- If it is a wireless keyboard, try resyncing it (connent button). I do not
know if the GUI can exert any influence over that sync-up or not but it is
easy to try.
- plug in an ADDITIONAL keyboard such as a USB one to see if a second
keyboard will work.
-try booting into single user mode with no GUI to look at those logs.
- the LiveCD is a good test too, I don't think you have replied to that one
yet

Did you try a diffrent keyboard? They are pretty resiliant, but maybe the
cord got crushed or crimped at some point...

You could get a list of every file that doesn't come from a package
(using a combination find and dpkg -S) and take a good look at what is left
over. I have seen the little bit of junk that gets left over on an upgrade
cause some serious problems. The most recent was on a couple of machines
that had been upgraded repeatedly having an old version of flash 7 stranded
on the machine that got loaded first, so a lot of flash stopped working.
Deleting the older flash fixed the problem.
You might be able to just run computer-janitor on the system and have that
clean up the problem, but I'm guessing the easiest fix would be to backup
the home directory and pull a list of packages from the system, then do a
fresh install and feed the old list of packages back into the system.
Did you upgrade via apt or with upgrade-manager, if the former, then
computer janitor will probably help a lot.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 some week ago (he's been running Ubuntu since
6.04)
Everything worked as advertised.
Then I don't what happened, his recollection is far from clever (he is
96).
All I know is that now the GUI ignores the keyboard.
As usual, I was just handed out the mess.

PS: And yes, the hardware is OK... :)

actually type stuff... Doh.
Did the keyboard work for a bit then

May not be the keyboard - but the plug on the computer. Is it PS2
or USB?
If one, try a keyboard for the other and see if it
works. ie - if it's
PS2, give a USB keyboard a try.
