Title:
  Unable to use keyboard at the login screen

Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a fresh boot, I get to the login screen where I need to type my
  username/password to login but I cannot type as the keyboard doesn't
  work (the mouse does though).

  The workaround I found is to click on any menu item (like volume
  control) and go back to the username box, now the keyboard works.

  At first I thought it was because due to a pop-up from NM asking to
  confirm my wifi password but this doesn't always show up yet I always
  have the problem. NM pop-ups shouldn't happen on the login screen IMHO
  but that's for another LP.

  
  Not sure if that's related but I run lightdm with this:

    [SeatDefaults]
    allow-guest=false
    greeter-hide-users=true
    greeter-show-manual-login=true
