key not working properly

Asked by Javier Resendiz

I have lenovo x60 laptop.

The key board started not working properly after I log on.

I have to hold the keys down longer in order to work at all.
I read the other issues with key issues and I tried another user after I openned up
libre writer it didn't work.
A window open up that stated that nautilus had to restart I clicked ok.
Then the key board worked fine.

I went back to my user but still the key board only works if I hold the keys down for a long time.

I had to switch users again in order to request for some help?
Do I need to restart nautilusi in my account? If so how can I do that?
Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Does it work ok in the live CD environment?

Sorry, I have lucid 10.04 install on the laptop.
This problem just started it was working fine before. The keys don't work by just touching them normally,
only work if I hold them down for about 2-3 seconds then it works.

I switch users on the same laptop and the key board works fine now with touch only after nautilus stated
it had to restart. I don't think it's a hardware issue since it works fine on the other user account? or maybe not sure?

Not sure about the live CD environment?
Thanks,

actionparsnip,

 I read more key board issues, I tried changing the kernel in start-up.
I tried all them with the same issue. The key board works fine at login with the touch.
but will not work by just touch the keys in anything else. I have to hold down the keys in order
for it to work at all.

I also tried the recovery mode kernels, but was not able to get passed the login. It asked me to login
in, I typed in yes. It then asked for my password but it would not take the password. It told me every
time that it was incorrect.

Not sure what do. I also tried a usb key board and this works fine with no issues. that is what I'm using to type all of this.

Any suggestion would be apprecited.

Thanks in advance.

Well just decide to reinstall Lucid again and start from scratch. Since it was not working on my user account only I worked on other users and worked on a Live CD as well.

Install Lucid 10.04 again and key boards works just fine.
thanks anyway.
