Keyboard not working after update to 18.04
I updated my laptop to 18.04 from 17.10 . The keyboard inputs are recognized only in the login screen after booting. Keyboard also works fine if I switch into the terminal from the login screen. But when logged in no keystrokes are perceived.

For anyone who still has this issue, in my case it's that somehow "Slow Keys" was turned on in the accessibility menu (little person icon in the upper-right corner of the login screen).
Was driving me crazy!

Also I've just discovered the "capitalise" button on the on-screen keyboard doesn't work. You may need type your password into libre office and use the capitalise menu button then paste your password into the terminal.

After upgrading to 18.04 my keyboard wasn't working, not even at the login screen. After trying a bunch of things I had an epiphany and replaced my PS/2 keyboard with a USB keyboard and sure enough that was the issue (which is weird because my PS/2 mouse still works).

Glad you solved it but you might still want to ask a new question about the PS/2 keyboard on Ubuntu 18.04.

Installing xserver-xorg-input solved my problem !
Expanding on the above for the inexperienced, it is possible to turn on the on-screen keyboard (accessibility menu) as it is likely that external USB keyboards will also not work.
After that perhaps the command
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
will do it. You need to shutdown and reboot each time (closing the lid usually just puts it to sleep).

Still wondering how to get touchegg working with 18.04 which seems to require removingxserver-xorg-input-libinputandxserver-xorg-input-synaptics, and installing a synaptics tweak (e.g. GitHub.com/urbie-mk2/xf86-input-synaptics). Unfortunately, removing those two packages and installing the tweaked package breaks the keyboard input after logging into user

After upgrading to 18.04 my keyboard wasn't working, not even at the login screen. After trying a bunch of things I had an epiphany and replaced my PS/2 keyboard with a USB keyboard and sure enough that was the issue (which is weird because my PS/2 mouse still works).

Installing xserver-xorg-input solved my problem !
Expanding on the above for the inexperienced, it is possible to turn on the on-screen keyboard (accessibility menu) as it is likely that external USB keyboards will also not work.
After that perhaps the command
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
will do it. You need to shutdown and reboot each time (closing the lid usually just puts it to sleep).
