We'd also like to check whether or not this is a bug with the GUI or with the kernel.
Please could you try booting from the CD again. When the menu for the CD comes up, don't choose to "start or install" ubuntu yet. Instead, press f6. You will see a line of options written at the bottom. With the keyboard, navigate to and delete the words "quiet" and "splash" Write the word "single" where they were. The computer will start in a command line interface. Please could you let me know if the keyboard works here If it does, you can shutdown by typing sudo shutdown -h 0 If not, try pressing the power button, it should send the signal to perform a shutdown. If it doesn't you might have to hold in the button for 6 seconds. Either way, please report your findings. Thanks again. ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Roberto Sarrionandia (rbs-tito) -- Keyboard not functioning in X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
