Ubuntu – USB (wireless) keyboard not recognised during install

keyboardsystem-installationusb

I'm just trying my first trip into the world of Ubuntu.

Trying to install from CD on to a virgin machine, I get the initial language prompt, select 'English', I get the Ubuntu install options, select 'Install Ubuntu Server'. I'm then presented with a further 'Language for installation' screen. At this point my keyboard stops working!

Some specifics:

  • I'm using a Logitech wireless USB keyboard – it works fine on another machine;
  • Machine is a ProLiant Micorserver N54L (No PS/2 ports);
  • BIOS USB support is set to Legacy.

Any ideas?

This is a known bug with fixes released. I suggest a good read:

alternate iso missing hid-logitech-dj driver

Otherwise use a wired USB keyboard for the install, but you may have problems during GRUB selection if fixes aren't applied.
