Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else in the forms. I did do a search and could only find older posts and none of their solutions worked for me. I am relatively new to the Ubuntu operating system so please bare with me is this solution is simple. I have a decent hold on finding my way around. If you need any information I will try my best to give you all that I know. Do bump me if you have a thread that already answered this particular problem.
I recently updated my little Colby Netbook to 12.04 yesterday. Loved the visual and cooed over the new perks. However I have a strange problem. Under my administrator login my caps lock button is registered as constantly depressed. Even when I press it it remains pressed and my "Number keys' that is a subchoice on the right side of my keyboard are the only things that pop up. Every thing that has a 'sub choice; (they pop up as blue numbers or symbols) is the only thing I can type (the caps lock button light also simply changes from blue to pink, never heard of that before) . I even tried deactivating my caps button by both means (terminal and via settings). No cigar.
However when I log in as a guest I have none of these problems (which is where I'm typing this question up).
So my question is: Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening? Could I have hit some strange sequence of buttons I didn't know about and done this? Or is this a odd bug that I've some how triggered? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
