    Re: Macbook keyboard not working

    I have the same issue. It only began a couple of days ago, yet I don't remember updating any software or changing any preferences that would cause this problem. In past versions of Ubuntu turning numlock on/off (as suggested here) always worked, but no longer seems to.

    Thanks - the suggestion at the bottom of that page to double tap fn-f6 fixed the issue for me!
