jiteo, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: - This is the same bug as 374012 - I was asked to open a new one since - 374012 was tagged as Expired. - Most of the keys on my MacBook 4,1's keyboard will stop responding... sometimes. I've tried to figure out a consistent way to reproduce the bug, but I've been unable to do so, hence my use of "sometimes". If I open xev, I see that no event is being generated by most keypresses. This only happens when logged in to a GNOME session - the keyboard works in the loging screen, both before I login, and after I logout. - I can confirm that the workaround described in 374012 does work. If I - empty out the contents of + WORKAROUND: If I empty out the contents of /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname>, - logout and login, the keyboard starts working again. Note that just - logging out and back in does not fix it. Also note that the contents of + logout and login, the keyboard starts working again. + + Note that just logging out and back in does not fix it. Also note that + the contents of /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname> do not have to be absent for the keyboard to work. I am currently typing on said keyboard and /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname> contains its usual folder "0" and file "%gconf.xml". Also also note that a USB keyboard will work fine throughout all of this. This may have something to do with my external monitor setup. This is a work laptop, and at work I have a second screen. At home I do not. I *believe* this only happens when I switch from one setup to the other - ie powering on my laptop at work with the second screen plugged in after it had been powered on at home without a second screen, and powering it on at home without a second screen after it had been powered on at work with one. - I really don't know what package this bug would apply to. I'm running a - new install of 10.04 LTS. It's a white plastic (not unibody) MacBook - 4,1, with a Canadian French keyboard, for what that's worth. - - Cheers! - --- + --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
