I solved my problem. At least half of it. It seems the reason my keyboard dies is because the bluetooth subsystem takes over control of the reciever, which handles the mouse and keyboard. However the keyboard does not communicate using bluetooth. I disabled bluetooth and I can now use my keyboard, I will try to see if I can configure it as a bluetooth keyboard and write my solution here, if possible.
Thanks for all the help. -- Usb keyboard dies when gdm starts https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/32938 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
