Mouse or keyboard won't work in Gnome

Hello,
Since a system update I made yesterday, there is no way to interact once logged in Gnome 3.4. The Super key won't open the shell, Alt+F2 do nothing, there is no element of the upper panel I can clic on (calendar, system...) - but I can see mouse pointer and it moves. I can however access the ttys by Ctrl+Alt+F1. I don't know if this is relevant, but GDM is launched as a daemon and I can type in GDM.
The update went from Gnome 3.4.1-1 to 3.4.2-1. Last update before was on may 6th. Pacman log follows at the end of this message.
Can someone help me on this ? Thanks by advance !

I don't have that hardware and use Parallels instead of Bootcamp anyway.

Tried to install foo2zjs and now PS/2 mouse and keyboard won't work

I was trying to install the foo2zjs tarball from their website and after doing so, I lost the usage of my PS/2 mouse and keyboard in X.
The keyboard works fine outside of X, but once X starts, it can't see it. Other input devices are working fine, like my USB game controller.
I deleted all the /etc/X11 and /etc/xinited* files and removed xorg xorg-drivers and reinstalled them and no hope.
The keyboard and mouse were being detected automatically, and I never had to edit anything for them to work, so why are they not working now?
I even removed foo2zjs and disabled the CUPS daemon and still no hope.
Any idea how I can debug this any further?

Turns out it was this problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117274, I must've upgraded udev while installing the printer driver.
Unplugging and replugging my keyboard made it work, but not the mouse. Maybe because it's the PS/2 thing. Anyway, downgrading the two packages solved the two issues.

USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
Thanks!

My wireless keyboard won't work for one of the users

All of a sudden the wireless keyboard stopped working for me, but it works when my wife logs in. I had to create a new account for myself and the keyboard now works. However, the keyboard won't work for my original account. Any thoughts?

Does it shows up as a device in your BT menu under the problematic user? Does it connect? If you delete it from your admin account and re-pair it, does it work?
There is a command called ioreg, which can help as well.
Here is sample output from ioreg -lw0 | grep -i keyboard

I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

Touchsmart 520-1047c Mouse and Keyboard will not work after sleep mode

I have an issue which I need some help with. When my computer goes to sleep the wireless mouse and keyboard will not work unless I restart, however each one will wake the system up but will not operate after that. I have tried just making the display go to sleep, both go to sleep but that makes no difference same issue occurs. The only work around I have found is going into the power settings and turning the sleep mode off for booth the computer and display. This does not solve the problem it just masks it. New batteries, unplugged and replugged the dongle, updated the bios and all drivers. Don't know what else to try. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Updated laptop, now keyboard won't work. (G585)

Laptop is a few weeks old and I've only just got around to registering it. I couldn't register it until it had an update.
I've downloaded the update and now the keyboard won't work.
I can use keys to increase/decrease brightness of the screen, but nothing else.
I've already tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds, it's just made loading times worse.
Thanks for any help

hi VeeBee15,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you ran Windows Update and you get the issues on the keyboard can, you try to:
1. Disable Filter Keys (see this thread)
2. Boot into Safe Mode and see if the keyboard works. If the keyboard doesn't work, perform a System Restore in Safe Mode.
3. If System Restore doesn't work, perform a full factory restore by pressing the OneKey Recovery button.
Hope this helps

My macbook pro keyboard won't work or respond at all, other than that everything is working properly.

I have a macbook pro (i7) 13'', everything was working properly, but out of a sudden the keyboard is dead & won't respond to anything, now I can't login. I restarted it many times but still the same problem. Any suggestions??!!! help me out plssss.
Thanks so much..

I just went through something with my MacBook Pro 13" where I was using a USB mouse and a MIDI keyboard. I left the computer for a while and it went into sleep mode and when I came back to it, the machine was very slow to respond. I shut out of everything and rebooted only to find that neither my built-in trackpad or keyboard was working anymore. I plugged in my USB mouse and that worked, and then a USB keyboard and that worked, but no signal from my built-in peripherals.
I ran a disc repair, cleaned out everything I could, updated all software, etc. etc. -- nothing... until finally I read something about how Java can cause a problem. I then went into my advanced settings and deleted everything in Java and Flash security. Also making it very difficult for those two applications to save anything to my machine. Once I rebooted my keyboard and trackpad were fullly functional again.
Wanted to share this because it was such an unintuitive fix but my computer is back at full speed again.

When resuming from standby mouse-click/keyboard doesn't work.

When resuming from standby about 80% of the time the mouse on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) stops working. I think it is a software issue. It appears that the mouse will do a click or click and drag but will not let go when removing my fingers. The issue only happens within 5seconds of waking up. The issue is only fixed with a hard reboot. I can bring up the shutdown menu, but am unable to slect shut down as the mouse/keyboard won't give input. This issue was present in Lion and was gone for the first few months of Mavericks but appeared again this week.
I can freely move around the mouse cursor and enter expose with three fingers but cannot select anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use viewToModel() method to get caret position for x, y location. No need to click.

Stas

Just upgraded to leopard and now new keyboard won't work

I just upgraded my system to Leopard, and everything went smoothly. When I installed I had my old keyboard attached as I didn't want anything to got wrong. Now since trying to use the new white key Mac keyboard that is out now, it won't work. I tried to go into preferences under keyboard and mouse but there was no choice there to change keyboard. What can I do?

Apple's download search function is pretty messed so that may not be the right file. The one that Software Update offered for my MacBook Pro when I had the Al board attached is "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" and is v1.0. It was in my Utilities folder.
I had to Google to find the other link, but it's here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AluminumKeyboard_Firmware_Update_10
See if that helps. It looks like this and Leo go together, so could explain why you the board doesn't like the change.

Mouse and keyboard both stop working

I've had my imac for about 3 years. I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.7. In the past six months this problem started, I was using an ergonomic MS keyboard (USB) and mouse (wireless) but then I have removed both MS devices and the problem has not gone away since plugging in my apple keyboard and optical mouse. I have tried using different usb ports and the problem still occurs. The problem happens when I leave my mac unattended for 10+ mins I come back and cannot use the mouse to click or select anything* and also cannot type with the keyboard. I have tried unplugging and plugging in again to the usb ports. I listen to music on itunes and leave the mac on as a stereo then want to use it to pick another song - no it won't let me do that either (other than use the skip, pause or play buttons). *If I'm lucky the mouse will let me select the apple then select restart or shutdown - however more often than not I have to reset by the button on the back of my mac as the mouse is not responding. I don't overload the machine with a lot as I only use 3 applications (safari, itunes and sometimes outlook for mac).
What I find most interesting is that I can sit and constantly use the mac for hours on end - as long as I don't stop using the mouse or keyboard. Inactivity over 10 mins begins the issue. At the moment I can make it stay for a while by putting the machine to sleep and then waking it up but this doesn't help when I want to listen to music.
I have searched long and hard all over the net on how to fix this problem and it appears I am not alone. I am hoping someone can help me please. We have tried other apple accessories from other machines we have at home without any luck.
Hoping someone can help me.

Could you say the keyboard and mouse model, please? That could help track the problem.

External mouse and keyboard no longer work after 10.8.5 upgrade

Today I upgraded from OSX 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 on my macbook pro 17". This upgrade caused by external mouse and keyboard to completely stop working. I tried installing the 10.8.5 "combo" install (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676) and also tried resetting the PRAM, but neither action had any effect.
I also tried restoring to an older time machine backup with 10.8.4, but could only figure out how to restore files, not the entire system.
I've lost a day of work at this point, I need help... How can I get back to 10.8.4 or get the mouse/keyboard working again on 10.8.5??

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard do not work

I purchased an iMac G5 about 6 months ago. I got it with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have had trouble with it from day 1. Apple had me replace the logic unit, and it worked for a couple of weeks. Then as soon as the 90-day warranty for complimentary service ran out, it began working sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all. It says I don't have a bluetooth module installed or attached to my computer (which is what it said before the logic unit was replaced. The computer works fine with a USB mouse and keyboard. Had I known bluetooth was so tempermental and difficult, I sure wouldn't have got it with my computer.
Unless there is a smart person out there who knows what is going on, I guess I need to buy a new USB keyboard and mouse. Anybody interested in buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse cheap?

Russell,
The warranty period on your mac is 1 year. The complimentry phone service period is 90 days unless you have a hardware problem. I'd say you likely have a hardware problem and will not be charged for the phone call.
I'd suggest 2 things:
1. Sign up for Applecare as has been recommended countless times.
2. Make the call to tech support and see what they say about your problem.
Good Luck,
John

Wireless mouse and keyboard won't connect.

I have a windows 7 computer and a wireless keyboard and mouse which connect to one usb receiver.
I was on the computer and suddenly both my mouse and keyboard stopped working.
The mouse lights up a red light but doesn't work. The computer says it can't recognize the receiver.
The usb receiver doesn't have a connect button. Perhaps the button is a sensor type, but it doesn't seem to make a light turn on.
Perhaps it doesn't work because i touched it with my foot. Please help

It would help me greatly if you identified your TouchSmart PC.
How to identify an HP TouchSmart PC.
Had you considered temporarily connecting a USB mouse and keyboard to enable you to install the original drivers from the Recovery Manager?
