[Bug 985015] Re: Upgrade to 12.04 beta 2 succeed, but no keyboard nor mouse afterwards

[Marco Lackovic]

A user on ubuntuforums has reported to have got through this problem by
booting from CD and entering chroot.

Problematic packages have to be installed by:

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/<package>.deb

then running:

apt-get -f install
apt-get -f upgrade

sometimes:

dpkg --configure <package>

A circular depency was solved by:

dpkg --ignore-depends <package1> --install/configure <package2>

About 30 packages had to be installed manually, running apt-get after
each is moving forward a bit, errors are the solved by the commands
above.

Title:
  Upgrade to 12.04 beta 2 succeed, but no keyboard nor mouse afterwards

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgraded to 12.04 beta 2 64-bit, but the keyboard and mouse (both USB)
  don't work. Unplugging the mouse and keyboard didn't work.

  I have tried booting from an external 12.04 USB flash installation
  disk to try to mount the partition and continue the upgrade but the
  mounted partition contains only the following file:

  EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi

  The output of "sudo fdisk -l" follows:

  fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
