Laptop Lenovo R61 using Gnome.
I upgraded a few days ago from 13.04 to 14.04; went real well (compared to the old days)
The custom keyboard I had set-up was gone, reverted to standard US.
I edited the usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, as I did before.
Didn't change.
Deleted var/lib/xkb/*.xkm
No change
Then I ran a dpkg command ... can't remember which !
Now, when I boot, the keyboard is completely dead; cannot even enter the password.
If I get the keyboard layout map it has question marks in all keys.
Tried to boot a Guest session, same thing.
I only can boot in recovery mode, on command line, keyboard works fine.
Right now I am using a 12.04 USB stick to boot and type this message !!!
I am on a trip, and have no other machine.
Help would be appreciated a lot.
J.F.
