Comment 43 for bug 82368

I was on Hardy Heron AMD64, and didn't have this problem. Then I upgraded to Intrepid Ibex AMD64, and had different issues which resulted in my installing Hardy Heron AMD64 in a separate partition. (And because of those other issues Hardy is my default system.) I don't have this problem when I boot into Intrepid Ibex, but now I have it when I boot into Hardy Heron. I've got a Microsoft USB keyboard which is plugged into the back of my computer, so I never tried unplugging and replugging it, but instead I've restarted the computer. (I haven't lost the mouse, so am able to choose the restart option.) Almost all of the time when I restart the keyboard works.

When I start up the computer in the morning the lights on the keyboard are on until after the grub screen where I choose my operating system. (It doesn't matter whether I choose Hardy or it defaults to it.) The lights go off during the boot-up. However, when I restart it, and it goes through the same motions, the lights usually don't go off.
