Gordon Fitch, could you please boot into the live environment via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and execute the following via a terminal: apport-collect 1398035
Given this happened after upgrading 12.04.1 to 12.04.5 (which only changes kernel and xorg bits, no userspace changes) the root cause would appear not to be a grub2 but kernel space. ** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1398035 Title: grub suddenly unable to get keystrokes from wireless keyboard and mouse Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Problem appeared after automatic update of version 12.04, (12.04.5) and also after trying to update to 14.04. Keyboard, mouse work OK with previous versions and LiveCD of 12.04.1. In 12.04, loader presented menu from which selection could not be made with either mouse or keyboard and did not time out. In 14.04, could not select from menu but menu timed out. Substituting old-style keyboard and USB mouse caused problem to disappear (thus far). Boot is normal, computer is now running normally. Ubuntu versions: see above. Wireless keyboard is Logitech Y-RAK73. No legible information on mouse or receiver. Attempted to use Apport, but it crashed.
