I have since failed to re-create this issue. Three successive boots into live desktop, using the CD, have each got full device operation. Mouse and keyboard are recognized in X.
This bug should be deleted. I installed ubuntu onto the hard disk and booted EFI kernel, using rEFInd from Mac OSX. Had to boot 'nomodeset', otherwise got black vt screens. X was not automatically configured and I had to create and edit a xorg.conf file to allow X to start properly. ubuntu does seem to work fairly normally on this system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1134281 Title: no mouse or keyboard in X: ubuntu 13.04 live daily-build Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Could be xorg event handling problem. On iMac 21.5 (mid 2010) attempting to run live cd of ubuntu 13.04 daily build 27 Feb 2013. CD boots and loads live desktop. No mouse or keyboard input to X. Keyboard allows switch to vt1 using ctl-alt-F1. Keyboard works OK in vt. ctl-alt-F7 returns to X desktop and no mouse or keyboard input is accepted by X. Last build tried was 26 Dec 2012 where X did accept mouse and keyboard input, but only whilst using live desktop. Once that build was installed the X desktop did not accept mouse or keyboard input. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.330 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: raring DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV730 XT [Mobility Radeon HD 4670] [1002:9488] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc.
