    Installation - no mouse & keyboard ver 11.10

    Hi, I am brand new to Linux. I have used Windows since 3.1. I am finally fed up.

    I tired Kubuntu 11.10 in VM box and loved what I saw.

    So I decided to install it on my desktop,
    I have the live CD and choose to full install.
    I have a mouse & keyboard showing in the post start screen
    I'm able to select enter on the first scree, but then that's it.
    No mouse or keyboard after that.

    I have tried to hit F6 and select no acpi - that didn't work.
    I have a Logitech x5500 wireless keyboard & mouse.

    I'm running it on an Asus Maximus IV Extreme z MB with all USB3.0 in the rear.
    I put the dongle in the front where I have 2 x USB2.0.
    I received errors after hitting enter to select install - that it cannot address USB port 1 & no emulation.

    I have read online that a lot of people are having problems with no mouse or keyboard in ver.11.10

    Can someone please help.
    I am desperating looking to replace Windows and use linux.

    That is, I believe, the problem. If you have a wired keyboard and mouse you can use while installing, I believe you will be able to complete the install.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Hey Snowhog, thanks, I was thinking about that.

      I was actually heading to local comp shop to get a wired mouse & keyboard to try.

          Found the fix for it.

          How to fix:

          Code:
          gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hic.rulesLook for the line under "# Logitech devices" that starts with:
          KERNEL=="hiddev*"
          and change it to:
          KERNEL=="hidraw*"

          Leave the rest of the line intact.

          Save the file and restart the machine. (You probably really only need to log off and back on).

          It works for my Logitech X5500 Revolution

            Yes, Teunis - you are right.

            It was kate for Kubuntu.

            Now if I could figure out why it keeps freezing during install at the "running pkgd" @ 51%
            I really want to kiss Windows 7 goodbye !
