added a note about previous versions of ubuntu on the system ** Description changed:
laptop: HP G42 Ubuntu: 18.04 LTS After clicking logout or switch user, once the system reaches the greeter/login screen, input devices -- keyboard, mouse, touchpad -- stop working, making it impossible to login back or shutdown. Initially I thought the system is frozen, but log shows that it still respnds to lid open/close, usb plug/unplug events, scheduled background tasks etc. Only the input devices, both onboard and external, are not usable. There's an external monitor attached to the laptop, and it shows the greeter and changes when lid is open or closed. What works: * logging in during fresh boot. Keyboard and mouse work at the greeter. * suspend/resume, lock/unlock screen. I'm able to enter password and get back to my session. * shutdown/restart while logged in. What doesn't work: * logout * switch user + + 17.10 and other previous versions of ubuntu didn't have this issue on + the same machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776534 Title: Input devices stop working after logout or switch-user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1776534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
