[Bug 1283793] Re: Keyboard doesn't respond during login and in unity without re-selecting it from the keyboard selector

 

Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs, as per
http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.09). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Keyboard doesn't respond during login and in unity without re-
  selecting it from the keyboard selector

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This has been an issue for me since I installed Trusty. It's a
  relatively short-lived issue each time I start up, as I need to enable
  the keyboard before I can log in, and then I can type into the
  password field.

  I have removed the EN-US keyboard, as I'm using an EN-GB keyboard.

  Happy to do some diagnostics, but I'm not hugely technical!
