Further investigation by running startx in the ssh connection I get the following error:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Type “ONE_LEVEL” has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols > Ignoring extra symbols Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Then everything goes dead…………. I have checked /etc/default/console-setup as suggested in known issues and although not an expert it seems OK and I have run sudo dpkg- reconfigure console-setup and that made no changes to the file. There is no mouse entry in the file but I guess that is not surprising as I think a standard mouse is now be detected by the kernel. My guess is its not X at fault but gdm. -- [intrepid] mouse and keyboard stop working under gdm and gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254840 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
