  • Once in recovery mode you can check the logs, for example /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /home/your_graphical_user/.xsession.errors and see if there is any information or errors relating the keyboard.

Good, that explains it. It might be a dependency problem (for example the library does not match what the program was waiting for). I'd run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and make sure all dependencies are ok.

If that doesn't solve the problem, try to reinstall the libinput module with:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
