You describe a different bug then the one I suffered from. For me, the keyboard functionality was completely lacking.
When I logged into unity and only the desktop was loaded, I had this behaviour: Pressing super key: nothing, no dash came up Pressing alt key: nothing, no hud came up Pressing F10: nothing, no menu came up Pressing ctrl+alt+t: nothing, no terminal came up Pressing ctrl+alt+right: nothing, no switch to the right window Pressing on the launcher, I start any program. As soon, as it is loaded, all the keys are working. But now - pressing ctrl+alt+right - and so switching to an again empty desktop - that's it. On the blank desktop again, non of the keys didn't work. I already erased my disk - reinstalled again, first Oneiric Ocelot, applied all updates, after that I updated via update-manager -d to Precise Pangolin, applied all updates, logged first into Unity - and the same bug as before, means - blank desktop - and no controlling keys are working. The machine, that happens is a Asus Eee PC 1000H with 2 GB Ram. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953089 Title: Unity 5.6: Super key doesn't start the dash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/953089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
