Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 08.04, the keyboard does not work under GNOME. I have
a Aluminium iMac, so the keyboard layout is Macintosh. Most keys do
nothing; 7-8-9-0 and the keys vertically beneath them function as a
numeric keypad.
Obviously, this makes the machine unusable, and it *is* a production
machine.
The keyboard works fine on the gdm login screen, and in the failsafe
terminal. It does not work in failsafe GNOME, and attempts to change the
keyboard layout and get something that would allow me to type letters
have failed. The keyboard *does* work as expected in a live session
booted from the 08.04 release CD. I upgraded from 07.10 using the Update
Manager; no configuration clashes were reported for the keyboard. (I had
to modify the alsa-base file to get sound working, so that clashed.)
X server reports an error trying to load the keyboard layout. It asks me
to include the following information:
Output of xprop -root | grep XKB:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
Output of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/:
layouts = []
model = macintosh
overrideSettings = false
options = []
