Public bug reported: This is split off from LP: #1223352 which originally described two different regressions I was seeing with 3.0.11-6. I've made that bug about the Fusion VM tiny fonts issue. This one is about the native install greeter problem.
Specifically, when booting into 3.0.11-6, the system boots to the greeter but you cannot type any keys or even move the mouse or click into the password box. No response to either devices. Rebooting back to 3.0.11-5 gives me a usable greeter again. Here's the last kernel that works: % uname -a Linux limelight 3.11.0-5-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 6 19:01:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: linux-image-3.11.0-5-generic 3.11.0-5.11 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-5.11-generic 3.11.0 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: barry 3281 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: barry 3281 F.... pulseaudio Date: Tue Sep 10 11:20:22 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-12 (790 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110705.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
