Updated 17.10 keyboard stops working

**wildmanne39** · October 19th, 2017

My keyboard is acting like the insert button has been pressed then it completely stops working and the only way to get it to work again is to reboot.

This is on my laptop with amd radeon 6 graphics.

- Please tell us about the computer (and its hardware, not only the graphics).

- Is it a fresh installation or an upgraded system?

- Is a live session affected (in the same laptop)?

I upgraded from the dev version, as long as I do not put pressure on the laptop it seems to be okay but once it acts up I have to get my fingers or wrists off the laptop quick or I have to reboot, this does not happen with other versions of Ubuntu, it is like the touch pad is sensitive but I tried to adjust it and that did not make any difference.

I do not have a live version and I really do not plan to create one if I do have too.

This happens with x.org or wayland.

It is very much like the insert button is on too but clicking it does not help, when typing the it high light the text and replace it or start typing in a new place instead of where I had the cursor.

Thanks for your reply.

This is on my laptop with amd radeon 6 graphics.

Howdy Wild Man...is this installed\

Code:

apt policy xserver-xorg-input-all

I've seen this happen without clean installs

**wildmanne39** · October 20th, 2017

I should be using wayland at the moment I think, I am logged in to just Ubuntu.

Code:

xserver-xorg-input-all:

Hi 1fallen, glad you are on today!

Good to see you!

This also happened to me earlier in the cycle (17.10)
Trying to find my notes on how I fixed it.(Will report back here when i find it)

**wildmanne39** · October 20th, 2017

Thanks 1fallen!

Good to see you again @1fallen

sudodus: Hello -

See wildman's Xorg file:
https://pastebin.com/zGsn3pJi
in respect to the keyboard activity and it's " device removed " .

Question: of what value is an Xorg file in a wayland environment ?

sometimes I do wonder
