Public bug reported:
My USB Keyboard sporadically stops working on Ubuntu 24.
I used the same USB keyboard with Ubuntu 22, without any issues, except
occasionally on startup, and unplugging the keyboard and plugging it
back in would fix it.
That didn't fix the issue the 2 times it occurred on Ubuntu 24, both of
which happened when I was in the middle of something.
Keyboard functionality seemed to return on its own after a few minutes,
although I'm not sure if it was a result of any actions I took.
I pasted
xev | grep -i key
the first time it happened, and
sudo udevadm control --reload && sudo udevadm trigger
the second time it happened, just now, in my terminal, and the issue
seemed to go away after that.
Of course, since my keyboard wasn't functional, I wasn't actually able
to use the ENTER key to run the command in the second case.
I don't remember how or if I actually executed the command in the first
place without a functioning keyboard.
