I just tried Ubuntu 22.04. Whilst the installer works correctly with the KVM (so I can for example choose option 1, try or install), the installation doesn't work (at least, not with the mouse, and without that I can't get anything that would be sensitive to the keyboard).
By this time next year, there will be no Ubuntu (or Debian I think, given that Rapsbian doesn't work with the KVM either) distribution I can use, as at that point 18.04 will be end of support. I shall then start having to try and learn other distros to see if any of them have fixed/failed to create this bug.

With windows 10 I can use it with the KVM for screen and keyboard/mouse, but with ubuntu 20.04 the keyboard and mouse do not work. This issue has also been observed here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/646515/using-logitech-mouse- keyboard-on-tesmart-kvm-switch-with-ubuntu-20-04 and I have observed it using a Lindy 2 port HDMI/USB KVM (but I'm unsure of the model). I had to report this originally against xorg as this bug reporting system seems not to allow reporting of bugs against unknown packages. I also had to report it through the ubuntu-bug executable as I've been unable to find a way in launchpad of reporting a bug (as opposed to getting a guided tour about reporting bugs). I am happy to supply more info and test fixes if I am asked but as with this type of bug where something fails to happen rather than something wrong happens I don't know what to look at.
