I'm having an issue with the lights on my laptop keyboard - the num lock, caps lock and scroll lock lights are always either on or off. Pressing the caps lock, num lock or scroll lock buttons doesn't change any of the lights.
The issue arose after implementing a fix from this thread: viewtopic.php?t=152185
My keyboard was sometimes not working after my laptop was suspended, and the fix was to edit a line in /etc/default/grub from:
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="atkbd.reset=1 i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset=1 i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1"
