Public bug reported:
I did a dist-upgrade using update-manager -d, everything went well until I
rebooted and got to the new GDM login window.
That's when my mouse and keyboard froze. I can't move my mouse nor can I switch
to a terminal - it's like it's physically unplugged. I tried both USB and PS/2
interfaces with no luck and I have to physically power off my box by pressing
the off button for 5+ secs.
I rebooted into a Recovery console and purged GDM and installed KDM -
but still proved unsuccessful since mouse and keyboard remained frozen.
I did the same thing by install installing SLIM but bug still won't let
me do anything.
This might be an Xorg bug since I've already tried gdm, kdm, and slim. I
can't attach crash logs, etc since my workstation remains unresponsive.
I can access the logs via recovery console, but I don't think I'll be
able to attach them here via Links.
