I can confirm this bug. Performed a clean installation of 13.04 64 bit from a live USB key today. No working mouse or keyboard after bootup from harddisk. Everything worked (and works) fine within the live environment of the usb key.
I did an 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image before the upgrade and the output was the following one: ii linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic 3.8.0-19.29 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic 3.8.0-19.29 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-generic 3.8.0.19.35 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image I didn't bother to apt-get install linux-image-extra`uname -r`, since it was already listed. What I did was to performan an apt-get dist-upgrade in the chrooted environment. Now mouse and keyboard do work again. Actual 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image' shows the following output: ii linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic 3.8.0-19.30 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-3.8.0-30-generic 3.8.0-30.44 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic 3.8.0-19.30 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.8.0-30-generic 3.8.0-30.44 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-generic 3.8.0.30.48 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image Hope that this can be of some help Regards Marco -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172852 Title: USB keyboard and mouse don't work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am installing Ubuntu 13.04 from a live USB key. I downloaded the stable amd64 iso of Ubuntu 13.04 after it was released today. It runs beautifully from a live USB key. However, after installing the OS to my hard drive and rebooting, the keyboard and mouse both fail to work. They are standard USB input devices (US layout) which have worked for years on other versions of Red Hat and Ubuntu. They work fine with the live USB version of the OS. I can't even log into the computer to collect bug data. I've tried reinstalling several times, changing the install options. Installing fresh on this computer, keeping only my old /home partition, and disallowing the installation of third-party software still produces the error. The same system has run several previous versions of Ubuntu without problems. Thanks for your help.
