[Bug 528720] Re: Keyboard stuck with irqbalance

[Andrew Linux]

I had installed Xubuntu 10.04 which had temporarily solved the porblem,
however the bug described here then started to occur in Xubuntu 10.04:
keyboard freezing with a repeating character and frozen mouse at login;
sometimes I'd be able to login but the mouse and keyboard would free.
Editing etc/default/irqbalance so that irqbalance was off (set =0) seems to
have solved the problem.
