Listmates,

I just checked on an 11.0 box, tapped on the keyboard and nothing happened. Then looked closer at the keyboard and the scroll lock, numlock, and caplock lights are on steady. That was strange, because moments earlier I was working from a samba share on the box. A quick ssh into the box and check of the logs and all is good - no errors. What happened to the keyboard? I know flashing lights means hardware failure, what do steady lights mean? What to try to get the keyboard back?

(we have a kitten, so a prior tap-dance on the keyboard isn't out of the question)

Flashing is Kernel Panic. Maybe it recovered? Never heard of that.... -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had this happen with a USB keyboard. I plugged in another one beside it and it started working fined. Closed the X session and re-logged in and they both worked. Its really aggravating when it happens on my Laptop. Now I just ssh into it with my phone and restart X. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
