Keyboard stops working on a Dell Inspiron 7110

Question

Title says it all. Do note that the keyboard stops randomly, and i never had problems during the install or boot or such.

I wrote this w/ my on-screen keyboard. it has no function keys however, so the solution presented here wouldn't be applicable.

I also naturally wouldn't want to have to relog every time this happens.

I can access my console fine w/ my on-screen keybd, so terminal commands i can do.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7110

Answer 1

When it happens to me I usually click on the touchpad (not the mouse) and it resumes working.

Bad bug, btw, Ubuntu's getting worse and worse.
