Most of the upgraded packages in your list are totally unrelated to keyboards. The only one which might even be remotely related is libgnome-desktop. It's much more likely that this happened due to a kernel upgrade -- could you try and boot with an earlier kernel in the grub boot menu and see whether that changes things?
Your udev database does have both the internal and the external keyboard, but the kernel messages say [ 5412.201062] usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 [ 5412.201065] usb 5-1: Product: 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse [ 5412.219577] input: 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/input/input18 [ 5412.219709] hid-generic 0003:040B:2014.0003: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [2.4GHz keyboard and mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0 [ 5412.253188] input: 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.1/input/input19 [ 5412.253615] hid-generic 0003:040B:2014.0004: input,hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [2.4GHz keyboard and mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input1 [ 5613.628100] usb 5-1: USB disconnect, device number 3 That USB disconnect looks suspicious. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445222 Title: external keyboard doesn't work Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After updating the software on my machine to the last version, the external keyboard stopped working.
