Tried to update all the drivers to recommendations Software update to ensure any more changes available are appliedĬTRL + ALT + F1 CTRL + ALT + F8 CTRL + ALT + F7 I have spent days researching forums of similar problems others have experienced and tried many of their suggestions including (not necessarily in this order): I disconnected it from the dock and rebooted so it was just running the laptop's own hardware, no change. The laptop is in a dock that feeds 2 external monitors and a wired keyboard. Rebooting the computer repeats the same issues, so I have to wait at least 10 mins for the screen saver to activate to enable the shortcut keys to open a terminal. If I press CTRL + ALT + F1, the login screen reappears and mouse clicks work again, but as soon as I log in again, they stop.ĬTRL + ALT + T does not work to open a terminal.ĪLT + F2 does not work to open a quick terminal command box.īasically, I can't get to a terminal window =(Īfter many hours of frustration trying many different things, I walked away for some time, when I came back the screen saver (black screen) had activated, and when I woke it up, then I discovered both these shortcut key commands to open a terminal worked, but still no mouse clicks. When the ubuntu login screen pops up, mouse clicks work fine, but as soon as I log in they stop. Now I can't click anything left or right-click on either the touchpad or wireless mouse and most of the keyboard shortcuts are broken.
Our Dell Precision M6800 was happily running Ubuntu 17.? for about 1.5 years, and have just done a dist upgrade to 18.04.2. We use this machine to run 2 businesses and are basically dead in the water =( I have been working for over 3 days to find a solution and not being a 'power user' I have no real way of getting around without the mouse. Thank you in advance to anyone who reads this and offers any suggestions that might help.
