Bug Description

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity-Desktop). After laptop booting is complete, the login screen appears. The first and unique user is preselected. When choosing this user by pressing spacebar (no mouse action before), the field for entering the password will appear and the Ubuntu freezes. No input is accepted. Mouse does not move. The system will not change screen on CTRL+ALT+F1 and it will not shutdown when pressing power key. When pressing ENTER/RETURN-key instead of spacebar, the system will work without any trouble.

Today I could not reproduce the bug as described. First, the Inputfield-Cursor freezes again, but also when pressing ENTER/RETURN or by clicking with Mouse. CTRL+ALT+F1 did not work, but moving mouse cursor was visible. This happened about three times. Some time later I tried to boot again and this time I logged in on console (CTRL+ALT+F1) before and entered commando "sleep 180 && shutdown -h now", switched back to Graphic-Mode (ALT+F7). Then login worked as expected. Then the update manager announced new updates. so I did the updates. Then I tried to reboot several times (also without the CTRL
+ALT+F1 trick), but the problem did not appear again at moment.
