Keyboard not working on my lenovo S10 Netbook

Question

I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 on my Lenovo S10 netbook. While installing, we have to add user name and password etc. But my keyboard does not support at that time. Why? Also I installed trial version, at that time also my keyboard is not working. Mouse works better. Please guide

Answer 1

Looks like a bug report has been submitted for the Linux kernel team. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/677633

A bad solution is here: http://s10lenovo.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=4482

It's bad, but it's a solution.

Answer 2

please do the following :
1. restart computer.
2. usually access the BIOS by pressing the DEL key during the POST.
3. make sure that USB port (cant remember exact name option) enabled.

moata_u, I have the same problem. I booted from USB, so USB isn't the problem. I've read other reports of people having the same problem with other netbooks.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook on a Lenovo S10-3C.

[EDIT] I've exchanged the S10-3c for an S10-3s. The keyboard works but this on model I can't get any ethernet or wireless connectivity. :/
