This happens on my Dell XPS13 laptop. Here are the steps: - Close the lid - Wait a minute - Open it back up
The login screen appears. The cursor is in the password area and is flashing. Nothing I type on the keyboard does anything. - Click on anything in the top bar -- the battery indicator, or the gear icon, or the clock - Hit escape or click on the password box again Now it works. - Type my password and log in This part is interesting: the things I was typing when attempting to log in have been entered into the OS. In other words, if I had a browser window up, my password attempts are there in the address bar. So the things that I type on the login screen, when not accepted by the login screen, are actually being accepted by the underlying operating system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349128 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 login screen doesn't accept keyboard input (until using indicators) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1349128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
