"I've had a few "issues" now in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on the Toshiba
(1.3 GHz Celeron / 768 MB RAM). Here are the problems and their
solutions.
"Remember: I'm no coder, so unless the solutions are relatively
quick and easy, I probably won't do 'em.
"Problem: Every once in awhile, the keyboard stops working in
mid-session.
"Solution: This could be a hardware issue, or it could be
something in Ubuntu. This doesn't happen all that often, but when
it does, killing X with ctrl-alt-backspace brings back the
keyboard. I consider this a less-than-optimal solution, but a
solution nonetheless. I'll be keeping an eye on the issue."
