This may not be the best place for a how-to, but I guess many others 
will benefit.

Grub is the boot manager used by Ubuntu, the first program loaded, used 
to choose from which installation or Operating System you want to boot. 
The procedure is to add the "atkbd.reset" parameter on boot time.

1) Open a terminal or console.
2) Type in
     sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Followed by <ENTER> key and type your password, followed by pressing the 
<ENTER> key.
3) A text file will appear. Move cursor with arrow keys until the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

just before the closing double quote, type

atkbd.reset

Press Control key without releasing it press "O" key (letter O, not
zero), release both, press<ENTER>  to save the file. Press Control key,
without releasing it, press "X" key. Release both.

This will bring you back to command line prompt. Now type:

sudo update-grub

Followed by<ENTER>  key. That's it! No need to press "E" key while
rebooting. That's just for checking if the atkbd.reset parameter was
correctly inserted.
