I am on a Compaq Presario v2565us laptop with Kubuntu 7.10, and at seemingly random times, my keyboard will choose to completely stop responding. I cannot Ctrl + Alt + F1 into terminal, or Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to reset X.
In this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11040), someone suggests that the problem may be Java SCIM , and that hitting Ctrl + Space will bring a computer in and out of this state. I tried hitting Ctrl + Space just now, and it didn't break my keyboard, so that's not it.
I am using KDE, like the fellow in this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348588). And, like in this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307294), I sometimes lose keyboard functionality after my screensaver starts, but it happens other times, too.
Unlike in Bug 59208, I can't use any Ctrl + Alt hotkeys. HOWEVER, in this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649407), riven0 suggests hitting Alt + SysRq + R to reset the keyboard firmware. Sometimes (not always), hitting Alt + SysRq + R will make Ctrl + Alt + F1 work, but I have to hit it every time I want to use it in X when this problem appears. HItting Alt + SysRq + R doesn't enable any other keys.
When this problem appears, the mouse is always unaffected. I can usually navigate menus just fine, but anything that requires keyboard use is impossible.
This problem seems similar to Bug 191589, but it has been happening since WAY before February 11th. |
