I also have problems with PS2 keyboard and mouse when using USB devices. One example is when I started copying lots (>4GiB) data from an external USB disk to my internal hard drive -> both mouse and keyboard stops working. Luckily an inserted USB mouse saved me from having to shoot down the machine.
Another example is when I inserted an SD-card into the USB-attached card reader -> both mouse and keyboard stops working. Both these episodes gives nothing in the /var/log/messages and friends so I'm not sure if this is really any helpful at all. -- PS2 keyboard and mouse not working when usb keyboard/mouse connected (ubuntu.dapper) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
