Public bug reported: I have tried diferant display managers (kdm nd lightdm) both are effected sometims whn my sister turns on her netbook she can't type in her password untill she puts th cmpute to sleep and wakes it up again, this seems to be randome, from what I have been able to fine from googling all over the place plymouth is to blame for this, seems to be if it is still running when whateverdm starts you will not bable to type.
on my own laptop I have had the same problem and was able to fix it by adding a sleep 2 before exec lightdm in /etc/init/lightdm.conf my sisters netbook needed more then that, he delay got to 6 seconds long and still wasn't reliable, I had to modify /etc/default/grub to ass text after splash then put service lightdm restart in rc.local so she could login most of the time. she has had the problem in 14.04 and now in 14.10, I have had it sense 13.04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-23.31-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-23-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri Oct 24 01:43:10 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-30 (176 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140416.1) SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2014-10-24 (0 days ago) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 kubuntu utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385089 Title: keyboard sometimes doesn't respond at login Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have tried diferant display managers (kdm nd lightdm) both are effected sometims whn my sister turns on her netbook she can't type in her password untill she puts th cmpute to sleep and wakes it up again, this seems to be randome, from what I have been able to fine from googling all over the place plymouth is to blame for this, seems to be if it is still running when whateverdm starts you will not bable to type. on my own laptop I have had the same problem and was able to fix it by adding a sleep 2 before exec lightdm in /etc/init/lightdm.conf my sisters netbook needed more then that, he delay got to 6 seconds long and still wasn't reliable, I had to modify /etc/default/grub to ass text after splash then put service lightdm restart in rc.local so she could login most of the time. she has had the problem in 14.04 and now in 14.10, I have had it sense 13.04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-23.31-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-23-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri Oct 24 01:43:10 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-30 (176 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140416.1) SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2014-10-24 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1385089/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
