I can confirm the workaround in comment #2 works for me. Also, I have a hard time reproducing this. It seems to happen every now and then but not when you try to reproduce it.
Anyway, I noticed something else. This also happened on the lock screen, and when I logged in I noticed my login password in clear text. Could it be that the text written on the lock screen (when this bug appears) actually goes through to the current session rather than just silently ignored? If so, this almost looks like a security issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289737 Title: No keyboard on first login Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When first booting this machine with daily 14.04, keyboard does not work.
