I'm on a HP Pavillion, but I've experienced the same problems. I was
reluctant to try the nomux fix, as it requires some work in getting the
touchpad working properly again. Anyway, in my case bash and the
keyboard stopped working, except for a few buttons. All the F-keys and
the bottom row still worked. The only chance it gave me was some ctrl-
alt-F# combinations. And miraculously one combination worked for me:

First press ctrl-alt-F1 (takes you to a login screen)
Then press ctrl-alt-F7 and everything should be fine again.
