So for some reason I watch something or just use my pc, out of nowhere this

shows on the screen and I don't know what it means, but it disables my keyboard shortcuts, and it doesn't work until I restart.

Some rare case if I try to type anything it doesn't let me :( Can anyone help me out here?

System info:

OS:Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS x86_64

EDIT: okay so i used my own keyboard and removed the office keyboard it's working now and isn't getting disabled again and again.

why is the office keyboard having the issue? keyboard is Logitech Media Keyboard K200

Have you tried this solution? The answer is for 20.04, but may work for 18.04 as well. – matigo Aug 21 '21 at 05:07
@matigo let's see if it works or not, I applied the method now – SDP Aug 21 '21 at 05:13
I assume you are on a Mac? That's a Mac icon not an Ubuntu one. – darth_epoxy Aug 21 '21 at 08:23
@darth_epoxy no sir i'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS now, i cropped the image because its my Office PC – SDP Aug 21 '21 at 08:42
On MAC this means you can't get your keyboard brigtness on because it is too bright (it wouldn't make any sense) – france1 Aug 21 '21 at 09:01
@france1 office keyboard doesn't have anything like that, even I don't know why it's happening only on Logitech keyboard, my home keyboard works fine on Ubuntu. – SDP Aug 21 '21 at 09:04
