| 672535 | 2008-05-26 07:54:00 | Here is a reply I found in a KDE forum dated about a year ago.Bit drastic for me as I can get by or resetup KDE with another profile A somewhat brutal way is to log in via Gnome, then using a Terminal (e.g. xterm) an moving your kde-directory ($HOME/.kde) to something else (e.g. "mv $HOME/.kde $HOME/kde-backup). After that you log out and log into KDE. With this method you loose all your settings etc. in KDE, but at least you get your keyboard. But, because you only moved your prior KDE-directory you may get your settings via the Terminal again. At least it's the fastest method for your problem |

| 672536 | 2008-05-26 08:03:00 | That doesn't sound too drastic, in fact you could do it in Gnome as the hidden folder .kde will be present in your home directory. You need to show hidden files/folders first. Just rename it to .kde-orig and then log out of Gnome and back into KDE. It will create a new .kde automatically. If it doesn't work, then just rename the original folder back to .kde. I've had to remove my .kde before due to a bad upgrade and losing stuff off my KDE menus. |

| 672537 | 2008-05-26 19:12:00 | It is too drastic for me as I am OK with Gnome and there is no need 4 me to have KDE unless it has all the little personal tweaks I had.I might just as easily Set up kde as I want it from the start again.If I do not find the little booboo that caused the whole thing soon I will start again.I moved things about in my home folder and did not delete anything other than pictures so if i could get an idea what to look for I may be ok. |

| 672538 | 2008-05-26 19:57:00 | Further to the above:Everything on my KDE desktop is working except the keyboard.. so there is "something" the hardware detection looks for that is not in its right place. Could I put a command in autostart to give it a kick in the guts ? |

How do I alter this ???I mentioned this above - see the link in my post, it's the same issue you're having, and has the solution: ...Does this (ubuntuforums.org) sound like your issue? |

| 672541 | 2008-05-26 21:34:00 | I should have said before but slow keys is turned off and I have also found if I turn off "use repeat" it turns itself back on | kjaada (253) | ||
| 672542 | 2008-05-26 22:38:00 | Solved at last:When I booted in to KDE this time got a popup "do you realy want to deactivate slow keys" clicked yes and all is back to normal. Thanks people. |
