I've attached the portion of the apt history.log showing the packages that were applied during the update.Īfter getting logged in there are no issues at all with the keyboard. I've tried a couple of cycles of rebooting the VM and restarting vmware player, which hasn't resolved the problem either.

I suspected that after updating that possibly some of the vmware drivers may not be working correctly, so I ran vmware- config- to recompile the tools, which didn't work. After logging in, there does not seem to be any problems using the keyboard, I experience the problem only at the gnome login screen. The mouse does work and I am able to use the 'on-screen keyboard' accessibility tool to input my password and gain entry. Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, Kernel 2.6.32-17-genericĪfter installing a slew of Ubuntu updates on keyboard input at the gnome login prompt no longer works. These days there are hardly any systems which aren't going to work fine with the default evdev settings, and anyway those cases would neither work with 'SKIP' or 'U.S. When login box appears, verify password can be typed in properly English' in /etc/default/ console- setup.ģ. Set XKBMODEL='SKIP' and/or XKBLAYOUT='U.S. English' and use the default -evdev settings.ġ. The xkb rules are modified to simply ignore the invalid values XKBMODEL='SKIP' and XKBLAYOUT='U.S. The fix has been committed to the main ubuntu-x git branch, which will be used once Maverick Meerkat is open for development, thus this fix will automatically copy over into it. For example, the vmware installer copies these invalid values and propagates them in a way that causes them to become the X defaults, thus confusing X and leaving the keyboard improperly set up. English'įor affected machines, run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setupĭue to console-setup using invalid keyboard model and layout identifiers on certain (common) hardware, this can break the keyboard functionality in certain circumstances. etc/default/ console- setup has an invalid XKBMODEL='SKIP' and/or XKBLAYOUT='U.S.
