The answers, 1. For desktop installations the keyboard is not recognised *only* during the human-keyboard screen. Because pressing the space bar during that menu does not bring the text only installation window, instead it progress to the screen (screen shot attached desk_inst.jpg) where we could either 'Install Ubuntu' or 'Try Ubuntu' using mouse. So as per the comments #5, #6 and #7 I could continue the installation using mouse and thereafter the installation starts in the graphical mode i was able to use the keyboard to enter the values such as selecting the regions, username passwords etc. Keyboard worked after the installation as well and I was able to do an apport collect after the installation.
But for server installations, there is no way of bypassing the initial options menu without a keypress.(arrow keys and enter key). There fore I could not finish the installation. 2. Thus is not Sigma Micro Keyboard although could be a derivation of it,but it has the number pad separately. I don't have any other keyboards at the moment. I could try if that's absolutely important, but may take a while -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050855 Title: External USB keyboard stops working when d-i starts on mac mini To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1050855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
