** Description changed: This is the same bug as 374012 - I was asked to open a new one since 374012 was tagged as Expired. Most of the keys on my MacBook 4,1's keyboard will stop responding... sometimes. I've tried to figure out a consistent way to reproduce the bug, but I've been unable to do so, hence my use of "sometimes". If I open xev, I see that no event is being generated by most keypresses. This only happens when logged in to a GNOME session - the keyboard works in the loging screen, both before I login, and after I logout. I can confirm that the workaround described in 374012 does work. If I empty out the contents of /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname>, logout and login, the keyboard starts working again. Note that just logging out and back in does not fix it. Also note that the contents of /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname> do not have to be absent for the keyboard to work. I am currently typing on said keyboard and /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname> contains its usual folder "0" and file "%gconf.xml". Also also note that a USB keyboard will work fine throughout all of this. This may have something to do with my external monitor setup. This is a work laptop, and at work I have a second screen. At home I do not. I *believe* this only happens when I switch from one setup to the other - ie powering on my laptop at work with the second screen plugged in after it had been powered on at home without a second screen, and powering it on at home without a second screen after it had been powered on at work with one. I really don't know what package this bug would apply to. I'm running a new install of 10.04 LTS. It's a white plastic (not unibody) MacBook 4,1, with a Canadian French keyboard, for what that's worth.
