Re: No KB or mouse after todays updates

Well -

My Dear Diary

yesterday, 2008/08/04:

73 packages to upgrade, 102 MB => KDM greeter (graphical login screen) don't show up / freezes to the timer/clock.

today, 2008/08/05:

63 packages to upgrade , 112 MB => KDM greeter shows up but no keyboard/mouse (or is it freezing ?).

I would say that there is progress . It is that: "...running into occasional, even frequent, breakage... " part

But what about the indignity of having to use Vista as a stop gap! It runs like a pig. I guess it doesn't help when you shrink the partition down to 5 Gb

Huh!

Thanks for the warning, guys -- guess I'll postpone updating until tomorrow!

Re: No KB or mouse after todays updates

Thank you but the warning came to late (by about 5min) for me

I am seeing the same and booting into recovery mode gives me gibberisch at the point where the screen comes up with resume, root, repair, etc.

Edit:
It gets worse (on my machine).
tried ctrl+alt+f1 to drop to cli.
I get hundreds of lines of:

unable to enumerate USB device on port 2

I get that during boot as well (had it on every alpha from gutsy onwards) but it doesn't bother me there.

Now it does.

This worked for me copied from the Ubuntu forum *********NOT MY WORK*********

If you're just after a quick fix add to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, inside the ServerLayout section, the following:

Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"

It Worked For Me™. Be sure to revert this change once an official fix comes out - which would be setting up hal and the evdev driver to handle our input devices.

Re: No KB or mouse after todays updates

I saw that as well.
Just tried it and it works fine.

Thank you

Thank you ! That did the trick here.


Some of the widgets are also again operational (folderview) > Topic: Missing widgets?

Hmm - there are double widgets running (Add widgets window):
- Application runner 2
- Digital clock 2
- New Device Notifier 2
- System Tray 2
- Task Manager 2

but the desktop shows only one.

I noticed yesterday when using kmenueditor that it was showing 2 of every package. Kinda weird .... I didn't attempt to "fix" anything, just did a little edit and closed it back up. Hoping later updates will resolve whatever that is all about.
