Keyboard and On Screen Keyboard Not Working On Ubuntu 22.04 When Xorg is enabled and unable to turn off Xorg

ng flag

I am using a dual boot machine in which I have the Windows 10 OS and also the Ubuntu 22.04 OS

A few days ago I encountered an issue in which after I pass the lock screen page, any response from the keyboard is not responding ( this included on-screen keyboard and any external keyboard attached )

I try to change keyboard and restart a few times but nothing fix the issue, then I check at the right bottom corner on the first screen that appear after linux successful boot there is a selection whether I want to choose "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu Xorg" then I noticed that If I choose Ubuntu Xorg this is what causing the error, I change to Ubuntu as this one able to fix the issue I am having

Then today I noticed in a google meet the screen sharing become black, and apps that I frequently used called VokoscreenNG, its ui/layout becomes weird and unable to select settings to screen record

So I search on internet and found this fixture

https://superuser.com/questions/1729457/google-meet-share-screen-black-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-22-04-lts#:~:text=Just%20setting%20chrome%3A%2F%2Fflags,X11%20as%20the%20display%20manager.

I follow the steps in which I edit the file at sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment the line #WaylandEnable=false to be WaylandEnable=false

Now after I reboot I am having a problem in which

  • All kind of keyboard now is not working
  • I am unable to change selection back to the normal Ubuntu, its like I am forced to use the Ubuntu Xorg, thus causing problem

I am posting this question using my Windows 10 while still figuring out way how to edit or revert back my Ubuntu settings to previous working state

I see a lot solution but require typing, I am unable to do the typing as any kind of keyboard is not responding in my ubuntu thus solution that involve typing will not work

FYI, my mouse is working fine

I am trying to find ways to edit the ubuntu file from my Windows 10, still checking on this while writing this question

Appreciate help from anyone

My device details:-

  • Processors : AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics
  • GPU : AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics

Welcome to AskUbuntu. Use Ctrl+Alt+F2 and get to the tty.

The issue on the keyboard is caused by Typing Assist configuration located in

Settings > Accessibility > Typing Assist

Refer the correct settings as per image attached here on what settings it should be configured to fix this issue

Typing Assist Correct Settings

FYI, I am able to access normal ( non Xorg ubuntu ) earlier when I realized that I actually can press the keyboard, just that it takes really2 hard to notice that the keyboard respond weirdly, so what I do is

  • I spam the Alt + F4 as many times until the terminal appear
  • Then I login via the terminal
  • from here I sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and comment line WaylandEnable
  • then i sudo reboot
  • then at the lock screen page the ubuntu without xorg selection is available

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
