[Bug 1285434] Re: Keyboard dysfunctional while booting 14.04 Generation 2 virtual machines on Hyper-V

 

Yes, the Hyper-V keyboard driver does exist in Trusty.  Trusty has the
two upstream commits:

c3c4d99485ea51cd354ed3cd955a8310703456b6 Input: hyperv-keyboard - pass through 0xE1 prefix
aed06b9cfcabf8644ac5f6f108c0b3d01522f88b Input: add a driver to support Hyper-V synthetic keyboard


Do you happen to know if this issue just start happening after a recent update or upgrade?  Also, does this issue also happen if you boot the latest mainline kernel, which is v3.14-rc4?  It can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc4-trusty/

Title:
  Keyboard dysfunctional while booting 14.04 Generation 2 virtual
  machines on Hyper-V

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi folks,

  While booting in to Generation 2 virtual machine mode, I noticed that
  the keyboard stops functioning. It appears that the keyboard is
  operational during the Grub 2 menu (see attached picture) but when we
  get to the screen to select a language, the keyboard stops responding.
  Is it feasible for you to check if the Hyper-V keyboard driver has
  been included from here:

  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-
  next.git/tree/drivers/input/serio/hyperv-keyboard.c?id=HEAD

  Please let me know.
  Thanks,
  Abhishek
