I tried alt+f2, the light of num lock on the keyboard was off, and after pressing alt+f1, the light was on again, so, I think the keyboard was still working. Alt+F7 cannot bring me back to the desktop. What should I do?

Some years back I had a similar issue with a particular version of the
nvidia drivers. If you are using proprietary video drivers (e.g. nvidia or
ati), you might check to see if there is a newer or even older version
available that does not cause the same problem. If you aren't using
proprietary drivers, I got nothing.
