Hello All,
My dad was working on the Kubuntu 6.06 laptop creating a document on
Open Office. After some lines, he could not type anything. He saved the
document using the touch pad and the File > Save option and shut down
the system using the touch pad.
When I had a look at the system, I found that the keyboard goes dead
after desktop is up. Before that till the gui login prompt, everything
works and I can go to Ctrl + Alt + F1 console. But after desktop is up
no key works except Fn + Brightness, Fn + Touch pad on/off which are
hard (ware) keys.
I created a new user in console and gave it a password. At the gui login
prompt when I enter the username and passwd, it cannot start the desktop
and gives a message "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your
installation. ...OK"
I can login to the original user without any errors but keyboard is not
functional. I can open/close programs using the touch pad.
Is there any way to solve this problem without reloading the OS? Is my
file system corrupt?
The lappy is ok as I can boot into the other os Mandriva 2007 and use it
flawlessly.
Regards,
Rony.
