keyboard input lost on ubuntu 19.04

I'm trying to set my brothers pc up with Zandronum and I have found a problem with the keyboard. After a little while, like a minute or two, the keyboard input is lost and only the mouse works. I have to restart the computer to get it working again, but after a few minutes, the problem reoccurs.

I tried the fix from the following thread but now it just says "Could not initialize SDL: No available video device"
https://zandronum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8156

This is also a fresh install for ubuntu, so it's unlikely there is something weirdly broken that borking Zandronum.

I had this issue and I resolved it by:

1. Open a terminal.
2. type sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libsdl* and hit enter.

Or go to /usr/local/lib and manually remove libsdl files.

Then try running Zandronum again. I am currently compiling Zandronum with the patch mentioned here: https://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=3848

I don't know if this would solve your original issue, though.
