Yesterday, the update manager told me updates was available for my computer (Dell Latitude D610).
I got an error and an information that I had to install a package manually via terminal (just typed the command dpgk command given in the Updater, in terminal) and continued the update - and everything seemed to work fine (I used the computer for at couple of hours).
Shut down the computer and went to bed.
This morning, I can't type my username or use the trackpad or the mouse, when i get to the logon window.
I can boot into Windows where the keyboard and mouse works fine, and it works fine in the boot menu too.
I've tried selecting the 'recovery mode' and I have tried all the options listed in the 'Recovery Menu' - no problems detected and the keyboard works fine.
So it's NOT a hardware issue.
I've tried booting to root ('Drop to root shell prompt') where I've tried:
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
but no change :(
How do I get my keyboard to function again, so I can log on to Ubuntu?
Thanks.
