Dotan,

I am in a terrible mess.  I have solved a plethera of problems getting 
to the point where I can send an email.

Without warning, my keyboard stopped working on my default site.  I 
locked the session and switched to my alternative user.  It opened and 
the keyboard works there, but important records are on the default 
connection.  It involves communicating later this morning with a 
manufacturer regarding an RMA.  I have been working for over two months 
trying to resolve the problem and when I can do it, I lost the keyboard. 

Getting a terminal on bootup puts me in grub.  Can that terminal be used 
to correct the problem?  I have a keyboard when in grub
