Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
I burned a alternate CD from a daily Jaunty AMD64 ISO (20090111) and when I booted from the CD, the intinal gfxboot screen worked fine and allowed me to use my wireless keyboard. However, once I selected the 'Install Ubuntu' option and got to the text installer, the keyboard would not work at all. I first thought that the system has stopped completely because all I could do is hard reboot, however another user with the same specs and a USB keyboard as me reported on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037138 mentioned that using a PS2 keyboard allowed them to proceed. The same person just wrote that their USB keyboard worked in the install of Alpha 1 but not in Alpha 2. I have tried a number of images on CD's and a USB stick and my keyboard works with none of them. I had managed to use my wireless keyboard before with the alternate installer to install Intrepid Ibex, so something has changed since then to prevent my wireless keyboard from working with the alternate installer. Using the live CD is not an option because a) I prefer a barebone installation and b) the manual installation option does not work on the live CD as stated in the Alpha 2 release notes. I am using the Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 which does work normally in Ubuntu. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Regression: USB/Wireless keyboards not working on Jaunty alternate daily CD - from Alpha 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
