Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: console-setup
I pulled a regular update for Lucid as of 20.4.2010 and after the needed
reboot I could no longer log in via gdm, a VT nor using the root-prompt
of grub. Further investigation showed that (probably console-setup) had
overwritten XKBLAYOUT with "af" in /etc/default/console-setup. Thus the
default language displayed for the keyboard-layout in gdm was
"Afghanistan" (written in italics) and the GtkEntry input was right-to-
left and no long left-to-right.
I worked around this using the keyboard-combination Alt+Shift. That
allowed me to log in via gdm again (but the input in GtkEntry was still
rendered right-to-left).
Thanks to pitti and cjwatson for helping me out of this mess initially
on IRC... two beers are on me next UDS in Brussels :)
