Bug Description
When I arrived at work this morning, I found that I couldn't log in to my laptop with my keyboard and mouse. The laptop keyboard and trackpad work, but not my peripherals. However, once I am logged in to Unity, I am able to use them without issue, and switch to TTYs and so on. This only started today, and multiple reboots didn't resolve.

Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue!
Which greeter do you use? To me it sounds more like an issue with the greeter than lightdm itself.
