It's like Canonical isn't even paying much attention to the quality of their releases. I'm very tempted to leave this distribution if they keep this up. I already find the addition of PulseAudio while it's still in only Alpha stages as the default sound server was a bad move, and I find Intrepid to be the buggiest and leat stable/reliable release yet. Like the fact that Raising Elephants no longer works in Intrepid, which means in the event that Intrepid completely crashes, the most you can do is everything but the boot stage, which requires a hard reset on the part of the user. BAD. Is it me, or have the last couple of Ubuntu releases been sent out into the world before they were actually ready?

It made me feel stupid. I couldn't figure out how to get my keyboard working. Definitely not an advertisement to newcomers. The "solution" you found is way to low-level for the average Ubuntu user (like me). Let's hope this is an exceptional fail... I had the same, a few weeks ago. It made me feel stupid.
