I have a Dell XPS 13 developer edition, on which I have Kubuntu 13.04 x86_64 installed.
The laptop was working flawlessly for more than a month without reboot (I use the sleep mode) until today!
When I woke it up from the sleep mode, the mouse was working but not the keyboard.
I had to hard reboot it from the power button and then guess! After the reboot, neither the keyboard or mouse was working!!
The problem occurs only on lightdm and I cannot even press ctrl+alt+f1 to go to the tty's! If I use ssh to connect to it and stop lightdm (sudo service lightdm stop), then the keyboard is working fine and I can move through the different ttys (alt+f1 to alt+f6).
After some research I made, I found some people creating an xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) with the following contents:
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
If I do that and restart lightdm, the mouse is working but the keyboard is not!
The problem is most probably related to udev and by grepping the Xorg.0.log for udev (when the manually created xorg.conf file is not present) I get this:
Code:
[ 1132.843] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.
I am going crazy and especially since this happened so suddenly!
Anyone has any other idea please?
