I had intrepid ubuntu server 8.10. Upgraded to jaunty 9.04 and rebooted. Mouse and keyboard was non-responsive at login screen of gnome. My computer was a dead duck.
I took the installation CD and mounted the HD to a shell only session so I could use the keyboard. There was no hal process (ps -edalf|grep hal). The commands that I think helped me was: apt-get -f install # took quite some time apt-get --reinstall install hal hal-info I then rebooted, and It worked. I did a dist-upgrade and rebooted again. Only problem was that Firefox complained about google not reachable. I restarted Firefox and now my Ubuntu jaunty seems to work. The full sequence of commands I typed in the recovery shell was: apt-get --reinstall install dbus # FAILED! apt-get --reinstall install hal hal-info #FAILED! apt-get -f install # took quite some time apt-get --reinstall install hal hal-info The commands commented with "FAILED!" requested me to run "apt-get -f install", which seemed to do the trick. I'm using an Intel Pentium (2 cores, 2500 I think) and ps mouse and keyboard (green + lilac connectors). -- [jaunty] Keyboard and Mouse Frozen on Login Screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335297 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
