My Wired PS/2 keyboard and mouse do not work in 12.04, either in a fresh
install or from the Live CD. A USB keyboard and mouse will work. The
PS/2 keyboard and mouse will work using the same hardware and a fresh
10.04 Ubuntu install or a fresh Windows 7 install.
So far I've tried running in the fresh 12.04 install:
sudo apt-get install
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
After the apt-get upgraded the first time, I now get to the point where
there are 0 items to be upgraded. Rebooted and still no PS/2
keyboard/mouse.
I've also tried adding the following lines to GRUB at boot time (the
PS/2 keyboard works in GRUB)
acpi=noirq
acpi=off
Neither setting made any difference.
The motherboard is a Foxconn D270S Atom based motherboard. Even more
interestingly, 12.04 recognizes the same PS/2 keyboard and mouse on a
separate Gigabyte AM3+ based motherboard. I only have this problem on
this particular motherboard with Ubuntu 12.04.
Update...
I dug out an old PS/2 mouse that does not use a PS/2 to USB adapter but
is directly wired for PS/2. Still no PS/2 keyboard or mouse after
reboot. Again, I only have this problem with this motherboard and 12.04
Ubuntu. Other motherboards work fine with 12.04 and this motherboard
works fine with 10.04.
Update 2...
I installed the 12.04 Server version. The text-based installer recognized the
keyboard without issue, but after the first boot into the installed OS, the
PS/2 keyboard would no longer respond. I tried installing Gnome on the Server
install and the PS/2 mouse and keyboard don't work in Gnome either.
