I'm very new to Kubuntu. After several attempts I was able to finally install Kubuntu successfully. After the reboot, I got to the login screen. Nothing unusual until I login when the mouse and keyboard do not work at all. The lights are still up though.

I tried a reboot and logged back in. Now i have a black screen with some of the elements of the desktop showing up.

I saw similar threads with commands to run to download additional drivers but I could not figure out for the life of me how to pull up the command line before or during the login screen.

  • I left the black screen on for 5 min while I was starting this thread. I realized that the mouse and keyboard are working but are too slow to reapond. I just saw the context menu when one would right click at the desktop.

I followed this and i was able to boot up to a responsive system. I was prompted to install nvidia driver and it is now in progress.

For all it is worth, i think this is the biggest stride of a progress that i had made in the last 12 hours.
