control key stop working - keyboard problem - ubuntu 9.04

[costamatrix]

Hi every one...i just got my Ubuntu 9.04 installed...

i installed over my 8.10 Ubuntu (that was working perfecly)...and now, my control keys (both of them) are not working....i cant use control+c control+v even control+f on firefox....

but the strange thing is that in the compiz cube control+alt+left continue to work ok....


i already tried to change keyboard layouts, without success...

i have a hp pavillion notebook model dv2000

the keyboard layout is USA.....


any help?

i just did a test...in compiz manager, i used a keybinding test and pres ctrl+c...and it works...the system can understand the control key ....

but still control+c control+v control+t does not work in any program....

any ideas?

can you tell me exactly what settings did you use for the keyboard layout
I am facing the same problem you were.

I have had a similar problem (the right crtl key didn't work) and I solved it by going to:
System > PReferences> Keyboard
Then, in the layout tab, I set the keyboard model of my laptop, but that wasn't enough. In layout options, I clicked on "compose key position": the "right ctrl" box was checked, for some reason. Well, unchecking it solved the problem!
