And you wonder why so many of us want to stay with Windows.

I really don't want to have to get a degree in computer programming just
to get my mouse to work after installing Ubuntu. I was all excited about
trying out this brand new release of Ubuntu (14.04), but it's not worth
my time.

Title:
  USB keyboard and mouse don't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
