Keyboard locked in Nautilus


Since upgraded to 6.10, I have had this annoying problem. The keyboard is locked in Nautilus. Changing path in "ctrl-l", renaming file name, ... etc all stop working. Keyboard is enabled in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/%gconf.xml but the result is the same.

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

hi


1) In the graphical loginscreen click "Session" and choose the failsafe terminal session (ie. NOT GNOME failsafe), and log in.

2) Run the command "gconf-editor", and go to "desktop->gnome->accessibility", and make sure none of the entries are marked with a check sign.

3) Close gconf-editor and log out (type "exit")

4) Choose the Gnome session from the graphical login screen, and log back in. Voila.


hope this is of help to you..
