Same here: upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 14.04. Keyboard does not work after soft reboot. After a hard reboot/power cycle, must use recovery boot option.
As per information in this thread, I checked /etc/initramfs- tools/modules - it contains only #comments. Using nvidia driver 367.35. Have just applied the "nosplash" fix suggested by Adam Felson and am about to reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238194 Title: keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy Status in initramfs-tools: New Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: [Justification] With the kernel in 13.10, some systems use a different USB host driver than previously. Failing to include this driver in the initramfs causes regressions for users who need to interact with the system in early boot using a USB keyboard, such as users with an encrypted root filesystem. Such systems are not bootable with this host driver missing. [Test case] 1. On an affected system, reboot to a kernel from 13.04. 2. Install the initramfs-tools package from -proposed. 3. Reboot to the kernel from 13.10. 4. Verify that you are able to type your passphrase at the prompt in the initramfs. [Regression potential] Minimal. The update-initramfs script will ignore missing modules (such as the many other modules in the list which are built-ins), and the only change made is to copy the module into the initramfs: it will only be loaded in the initramfs if udev determines it's needed, just as it would load it after switching to the root filesystem. Is the same problem as here but in the new ubuntu 13.10 saucy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066376 I just can't use (i can install) a encrypted partition because when is time to introduce the password to unlock partition keyboard is not working. I don't know how to edit a bug to report it afects other version of ubuntu so i created this new bug...
