I'm getting this too on a ThinkPad T420 with Intel graphics; my workaround is to select the (apparently already-selected!) keyboard layout on the login page, after which I can click and type password.
Once logged in, the keyboard layout is then invariably set to English (US) despite the fact that I've just selected English (UK) on the login page. There's no reason that I can see why this should be so from /etc/default/keyboard or from what's in the Ubuntu settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255558 Title: Can't type my password after cold boot Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Can't type my password after cold boot unless I change my keyboard layout to next (or change and then re-change to same layout) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: lightdm 1.9.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.12.0-4.10-generic 3.12.1 Uname: Linux 3.12.0-4-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Nov 27 16:27:13 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-11-19 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20131119) SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1255558/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
