Dee Bee, can you try the following ? : 1. Suspend the PC or laptop 2. Start the PC or laptop 3. Try if you can key in anything
I have a HP Pavilion g4 laptop that I bought last year. I've been installing few Linux distributions and had the same issue. In the beginning I was using Ubuntu 12.04 and had no problem. After I upgraded it to Ubuntu 13.04, I had the same issue as reported in this thread. After googling a little, and tried some solutions provided in other threads, nothing worked. So I decided to suspend the PC and wake the PC up again, and I found out that I was able to use my keyboard. I am not sure if it will work on your case, but please give it a try. I also noticed that when I boot and reboot a couple of times, once in a while, I am able to use my keyboard... Very funny... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172852 Title: USB keyboard and mouse don't work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I am installing Ubuntu 13.04 from a live USB key. I downloaded the stable amd64 iso of Ubuntu 13.04 after it was released today. It runs beautifully from a live USB key. However, after installing the OS to my hard drive and rebooting, the keyboard and mouse both fail to work. They are standard USB input devices (US layout) which have worked for years on other versions of Red Hat and Ubuntu. They work fine with the live USB version of the OS. I can't even log into the computer to collect bug data. I've tried reinstalling several times, changing the install options. Installing fresh on this computer, keeping only my old /home partition, and disallowing the installation of third-party software still produces the error. The same system has run several previous versions of Ubuntu without problems. Thanks for your help.
