Re: Peculiar effect with keyboard -again
Maybe try going to the Keyboard properties menu item (under 'Settings' from memory) and check that the correct keyboard layout is specified (or that there even is one) On 13 July 2010 12:19, Simone Bowskill wrote: > Hello All > > Forgot to say before that I am using Lucid Lynx. > > > I am sending this from my Wife's computer because of the effect > explained below: > > On start up, I reach the normal login screen and can log in normally - > from the keyboard. > When the full normal window manager display comes up the keyboard goes > dead - the mouse is OK. > I then restarted and selected "repair broken packages", then "normal > start" - the same effect was present - no keyboard. > Restarted again but entered terminal mode - the keyboard behaved perfectly. > Exchanged the keyboard with one that is OK (the one I am sending this > message on) - same result as before. > > It would seem that when the X-server/window manager starts, the keyboard > becomes disabled. > > Has anyone any ideas what would cause this and how I can fix it ?? > > Many thanks in anticipation > > David Bowskill > > -- > ubuntu-au mailing list > ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au > -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Peculiar effect with keyboard
Hello All I am sending this from my Wife's computer because of the effect explained below: On start up, I reach the normal login screen and can log in normally - from the keyboard. When the full normal window manager display comes up the keyboard goes dead - the mouse is OK. I then restarted and selected "repair broken packages", then "normal start" - the same effect was present - no keyboard. Restarted again but entered terminal mode - the keyboard behaved perfectly. Exchanged the keyboard with one that is OK (the one I am sending this message on) - same result as before. It would seem that when the X-server/window manager starts, the keyboard becomes disabled. Has anyone any ideas what would cause this and how I can fix it ?? Many thanks in anticipation David Bowskill -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Peculiar effect with keyboard -again
Hello All Forgot to say before that I am using Lucid Lynx. I am sending this from my Wife's computer because of the effect explained below: On start up, I reach the normal login screen and can log in normally - from the keyboard. When the full normal window manager display comes up the keyboard goes dead - the mouse is OK. I then restarted and selected "repair broken packages", then "normal start" - the same effect was present - no keyboard. Restarted again but entered terminal mode - the keyboard behaved perfectly. Exchanged the keyboard with one that is OK (the one I am sending this message on) - same result as before. It would seem that when the X-server/window manager starts, the keyboard becomes disabled. Has anyone any ideas what would cause this and how I can fix it ??
