Package: gnome Version: 1:2.30+7 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I use three user accounts on my system: root, susam and guest. After booting the system, when I log into GNOME desktop as 'susam', I am unable to use the keyboard to input any text. Keyboard seems completely unusable then. Even Ctrl + Alt + F1 does not work. To recover from the situation, I log off using the mouse (System > Log out from the menu) and log in again as a different user 'guest'. In this account I am able to work properly with the keyboard. So, I have this problem only when I login as 'susam'. My guess is that there is some corrupt GNOME related configuration file for the 'susam' account. Additional notes: 1. Only one account called 'susam' is affected. 2. Mouse works. I can log out using mouse and then use the keyboard again to log in as a different user and work properly. 3. I did nothing unusual when the issue started troubling me. The keyboard was working fine. I was using Iceweasel. I was able to type addresses and visit websites. Suddenly, for no apparent reason keyboard input stopped working. Pressing the keys did nothing. Mouse was still working though. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome depends on: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.27-2 Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon ii banshee 1.6.1-1.1 Media Management and Playback appl ii epiphany-extensions 2.30.2-1 Extensions for Epiphany web browse ii evolution-exchange 2.30.2-1 Exchange plugin for the Evolution ii evolution-plugins 2.30.3-5 standard plugins for Evolution ii evolution-webcal 2.28.1-1 webcal: URL handler for GNOME and ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii gedit-plugins 2.30.0-1 set of plugins for gedit ii gnome-codec-install 0.4.7 GStreamer codec installer ii gnome-desktop-environment 1:2.30+7 The GNOME Desktop Environment ii gnome-games 1:2.30.2-2 games for the GNOME desktop ii gnome-themes-extras 2.22.0-3 extra themes for the GNOME desktop ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.10-1 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.15-1 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.30.3-5 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key ii rhythmbox-plugins 0.12.8-2 plugins for rhythmbox music player ii software-center 2.0.7debian7 Utility for browsing, installing, ii synaptic 0.70~pre1+b1 Graphical package manager ii system-config-printer 1.2.3-3 graphical interface to configure t ii tomboy 1.2.2-2 desktop note taking program using ii totem-mozilla 2.30.2-6 Totem Mozilla plugin ii transmission-gtk 2.03-2 lightweight BitTorrent client (GTK Versions of packages gnome recommends: ii browser-plugin-gnash [mozi 0.8.8-5 GNU Shockwave Flash (SWF) player -
