Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nouveau-firmware
the behavior is actually rather intricate. if I replug in the keyboard
at the login screen, I can log in. but once the session starts the same
trick wont get it to work. at all times the number pad itself works, as
does the caps lock, and ctl+alt+backspace works, but backspace alone
does not (except as noted at the login screen). neither does ctl+alt+f#
.. If I switch to c+a+f3 the keyboard works fine, but then Im not in x.
there is no failure message specific to a keyboard in gdm/:0.log after
plugging in the keyboard or after logging in, and I see two message-
blocks for the keyboard ataching and detaching.
importantly: Uninstalling nouveau-firmware DID NOT REVERT the system to its
previous working state.
I consider that a major issue. :)
I'm on UBuntu 10.10, on a powerpc G5 (no live disk to revert to, because
of the well-preserved bug with that disk image). I can only check in
every so often, as this basically hosed my home pc. please be precise if
you ask me to gather any information or follow any suggested remedy.
