[ubuntu-us-mn] Weird keyboard input failure

[T L]

Fred -

On the web page about your keyboard problem, you report that you can't sudo
from your guest account.

You could boot from a USB stick and edit /etc/sudoers to fix this.

I'd also guess that your keyboard will work fine while booting from a USB
stick. You might try looking at the "dot files" for your personal account
(.profile, .bashrc, et al) to see if there's anything that is suspicious.
Looking at suck files with last changed dates around the time of the start
of the problem might be useful also.
