Macbook keyboard problem

I'm running Ubuntu Studio 14.04 on my Macbook 3,1. It worked well until today. The internal keyboard doesn't work properly anymore. Most keys don't work at all, while a few produce the wrong characters. For example, the keys J, K and L produce the numbers 1, 2 and 3.

It's not a hardware issue, in Mac OS everything is still fine. My external keyboard also works correctly.

Can anybody help me?

I don't know why, but the problem was solved by pressing F6 twice.

FYI, this is because the keyboard has a number pad built in. F6 disables this, and means you can type your letters rather than numbers.

Press the Caps Lock key. num. (F6) to activate the keypad.
