I have since failed to re-create this issue. Three successive boots into live desktop, using the CD, have each got full device operation. Mouse and keyboard are recognized in X.
This bug should be deleted. I installed ubuntu onto the hard disk and booted EFI kernel, using rEFInd from Mac OSX. Had to boot 'nomodeset', otherwise got black vt screens. X was not automatically configured and I had to create and edit a xorg.conf file to allow X to start properly. ubuntu does seem to work fairly normally on this system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1134281 Title: no mouse or keyboard in X: ubuntu 13.04 live daily-build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1134281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
