I was trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 from a live CD and I wasn't able to get it to recognize either my keyboard (C.Y.B.O.R.G V5) or my mouse (R.A.T 7). I eventually gave up but later on I was able to use an old keyboard that uses a serial port instead of a USB (which works). I was then able to install the OS but my mouse still won't work. I am unable to navigate with just the keyboard so I really don't know what to do.

  • serial port or PS/2? Also, would you happen to have your keyboard/mouse on a USB 3.0 port? that causes trouble Feb 12, 2013 at 1:28
  • The keyboard is in a serial port and the mouse is connected to a USB 2.0.

  • I've never seen a serial port keyboard ever on a PC. Keyboards went from 8 pin mini din to pc/2 Feb 12, 2013 at 1:43
  • Ok well the keyboard works just fine it's the mouse that won't work.

  • Try to go through this: wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingMouseDetection if that doesn't help post the information you've collected during the procedure

Boot into BIOS configuration page and search for

USB Legacy Support and enable it.

Then try again with the Usb keyboard and mouse.
