Public bug reported:
I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. This morning, I couldn't type my
password in at the login prompt. It was as if the keyboard was not
being recognized. I verified that there was a prompt in the password
box, so it's not an input focus issue.
What's interesting is that if I hit Capslock, a capslock warning icon
appears in the password box, so obviously the keyboard is functioning,
but just not allowing me to type my password in.
[Workaround] However, if I mouse click on the on-screen keyboard icon at
the top of the screen (the icon's shaped like a little man), and then
click back on the password box, keyboard input is recognized and I can
finally type my password in.
Once logged in, the keyboard works fine.
I think this is not a keyboard driver issue, but a login screen issue.
