I'm confused by this. The fix was a setting problem, and I was informed a long time ago. Moribius1 nailed it on July 21st, in the page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2235440&p=13078735#post13078735 , also referencing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfe/+bug/1029256 . Fixed by : System Settings > Language Support > Keyboard Input Method System > From IBUS to None: Apparently a setting changed in 14.04 defaults from earlier Ubuntu versions?
It works fine now, just rechecked it. Definitely NOT a BIOS problem. I don't have the latest BIOS, but I also don't know of any bugs that affect operations. Everything seems to work fine. Where can I see info on the Ubuntu problems with this BIOS? Just for reference, here is the output from the command sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date : BHZ7710H.86A.0057.2012.0208.1904 02/08/2012 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1346435 Title: Cannot enter name for new folder, can't make folder Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I select "new folder", window appears, but cannot enter name in text box to create new folder. It seems that some users have this problem, some not. XFE has no variants, so I'm guessing the problem arises within Ubuntu and variations in Ubuntu setup.
