Public bug reported: When I try to install kubuntu using the Alternate Install CD on an older AMD Athlon based machine (approx. 1GHz no further details yet, I got it used fromk a friend), the graphical Boot-Menu doesn't recognize my USB- Keyboard (Saitek Compact USB Keyboard).
After waiting for the default option (text-mode-install) to start, eache and every keypress is detected twice, so I'm not able to navigate to half of the menu options and cannot enter proper information such as hostname, usernames, passwords etc. I used this keyboard on a finished Installation of kubuntu Dapper on the same machine and once KDE (KDM) has started everythig is normal. How to reproduce: 1.) Attach Saitek Compact USB Keyboard to PC 2.) Insert Alternate Install CD 3.) reboot 4.) Try to navigate through Menus using Arrow-Keys and [ENTER] / [TAB] / [ESC] ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Trouble with "Saitek Compact USB Keyboard" using Alternate Install path https://launchpad.net/bugs/59044 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
