[Bug 1172852] Re: USB keyboard and mouse don't work

 

I can confirm this bug. Performed a clean installation of 13.04 64 bit
from a live USB key today. No working mouse or keyboard after bootup
from harddisk. Everything worked (and works) fine within the live
environment of the usb key.

I did an 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image before the upgrade and the output
was the following one:

ii  linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic              3.8.0-19.29                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic        3.8.0-19.29                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-generic                       3.8.0.19.35                            amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

I didn't bother to 
 apt-get install linux-image-extra`uname -r`, 
since it was already listed. What I did was to performan an apt-get dist-upgrade in the chrooted environment. Now mouse and keyboard do work again.

Actual 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image' shows the following output:
ii  linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic              3.8.0-19.30                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-3.8.0-30-generic              3.8.0-30.44                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic        3.8.0-19.30                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-extra-3.8.0-30-generic        3.8.0-30.44                            amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-generic                       3.8.0.30.48                            amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

Hope that this can be of some help

Regards
Marco

Title:
  USB keyboard and mouse don't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
