This started happening to me too after I installed 8.10 on my Dell E1505 laptop. This never happened under previous Ubuntu installations.
If I try to change the screen brightness, the keyboard stops working and in terminals the cursor changes from a black bar to an empty square, as if the window did not have focus. The only solution is to reboot (restarting X with ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't fix it). -- keyboard stops working until logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184078 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
