Yes, this is an issue in recovery mode, too. If I hold down Shift while booting, I get the grub menu, in which the keyboard works. I can select recovery mode. However, as soon as it gets to the main menu in recovery mode (the one rendered in ASCII mode, not in X), the keyboard stops working. I have found someone else with the same problem:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140007 I have now had to downgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 so that I can continue working with my computer (this is my work machine). It is very mysterious to me that this issue does not occur when running from a live USB stick, but does when running from the HDD. It's almost like the presence of the USB key itself prevents the issue with USB input devices from occurring.
