No mine, my father's...
He calls me to tell me that the keyboard on his freshly Ubuntu 10.10 install
quit working. He can't even login because he can't type the password.
I tried the on-screen keyboard, which gets blattanly ignored too, but I am
unfamiliar with the resource, so I could not draw anything conclusive out of
it.
I suspected a hardware failure, so I brought the keyboard home and it tested
OK.
I went back to his home and was able to manipulate the BIOS and get to the
GRUB menu by holding down the left shift key on boot, got a shell, renamed
his home directory to bypass whatever configuration he might inadvertently
introduced, did dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and rebooted.
No keyboard... :(
WHAT IN THE $#!&^* WORLD HAPPENED TO THE KEYBOARD!!!!
Other that a fresh re-install I don't know what to do...
I hope somebody here has a better idea.
