I'm experiencing the same problem on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo running 7.10, with the difference that for me it's PERMANENT. After login, keyboard is gone. I'm writing this from a knoppix cd I had lying around.
This has happened on a fresh gutsy install. (Week long). Yesterday (27th) Kbd simply stopped working. As suggested in some threads at ubuntuforums.org you can keep pressing a key and the key indeed appears repeated. Here's the only thing that made sense to me from /var/log/messages Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 28.704770] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 28.087692] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 22.635680] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 24.694254] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1 some lines from /var/log/syslog Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 5.012000] usb 1-2: device not accepting address 3, error -71 Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 27.428137] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux" Feb 27 19:28:11 cantinflas kernel: [ 27.428139] Please send dmidecode to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 26.112284] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux" Feb 27 20:13:32 cantinflas kernel: [ 26.112285] Please send dmidecode to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 21.359757] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux" Feb 28 11:53:39 cantinflas kernel: [ 21.359758] Please send dmidecode to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1]) Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 23.421104] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux" Feb 28 12:20:22 cantinflas kernel: [ 23.421105] Please send dmidecode to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problem here is I don't know what I'm looking for.
