[Bug 1238194] Re: keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy

[Richard Laskey]

This one hit me when I upgraded from 13.04. Really bad bug. I am lucky
enough to have a PS/2 keyboard on hand where the system is installed, so
I can get in just fine via that. Used to work perfectly in 13.04, and
12.10.

I had used the option to encrypt the entire system from the 12.10
installer, haven't been messing with it since. Wired USB keyboard does
not work, to include not lighting up nor any sort of activity. Keyboard
does work after that step, when booting the rest of the OS.

Took me a while to find this bug, too, and considering it can lock
people out of their systems, there may be many more who have experienced
this than have reported it here.

Would be happy to send across any files or details that may be of
assistance.
