[ubuntu-uk] Keyboard not being enabled in Jaunty

[Michael Holloway]

Hi Sean

I'd suggest booting into recovery mode (or whatever its called, the
second grub menu option) and run

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

There are some options related to keyboard in their which may help (?)

Of course if you have no keyboard at this point (before x starts) then
we can assume something more difficult to fix, like a problem with usb
module or something.
