I had a very similar problem when I upgraded my virtual machine to Ubuntu 16.10. My mouse and keyboard worked fine until I upgraded to 16.10. The virtual machine would boot just fine, but I had no cursor and no ability to click or type anything. My mouse was being captured by the VM, but not working at all. Well I did realize I had the ability to hold shift at boot to bring up the GRUB menu, so the virtual box was working fine! I figured the issue must be with Xorg. I was able to bring up a root shell and uninstall Xorg. Apt was having issues updating packages since it could not resolve name servers. This somehow caused Xorg to not come up at boot, which is when I also confirmed that bash was also working fine.
TL;DR: Uninstalling and reinstalling Xorg has fixed my issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630245 Title: after starting ubuntu 16.10 -- no keyboard, no mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1630245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
