At the log in screen, click the gear and select Unity-2d and see if that helps your problem.

Ran across this in my searching: http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Ubuntu-10-04-keyboard-and-mouse-not-working-after-update-td1293320.html

Try posts 4 and 6. You don't have to go into recovery mode for these, but open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and sudo su

  • That's very odd... Try: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback And select "Gnome Classic" on that gear. Also, are you using the touchpad, or an external mouse?

  • Honestly, you shouldn't need it in recent versions unless you have a special mouse or something?

  • sudo -s is widely considered preferable to sudo su. May 21, 2012 at 18:20
