[Bug 59616] Re: keyboard not working after logging in via gdm

[Henrik Nyberg]

This could be related to upstart. I have a similar problem, where the
keyboard does not work after the boot process is complete. By logging in
remotely to the computer I shut down GDM and X, and on the VT below
there was a terminal with the text: "The system has reached a state
where there are no jobs running.", and that it would open a shell
instead. This shell seemed to have received some of the keyboard input
that was attempted while GDM was running.

Although, I have no knowledge about the workings of upstart, I am
suspecting that it might have some relation to the boot process. It was
not experienced until sysvinit was replaced by upstart.
