[04:31] <maksim2042> gentlemen, could anyone help with a probem on a netbook?
[04:31] <maksim2042> the keyboard doesn't respond at all
[04:32] <drschupp> have you tried to test if it's a hardware problem at all?
[04:32] <maksim2042> it works perfectly in the bios
[04:32] <maksim2042> so it's not hardware
[04:32] <maksim2042> and worked in Windows
[04:32] <maksim2042> 20 minutes ago
[04:32] <drschupp> had it worked before?
[04:32] <maksim2042> (before I blew away the HD)
[04:32] <maksim2042> yup
[04:32] <maksim2042> well, not on Ubuntu
[04:32] <maksim2042> just installed
[04:32] <maksim2042> the machine is MSI Wind
[04:33] <drschupp> tried the netbook remix?
[04:33] <maksim2042> that's what I have
[04:34] <maksim2042> USB keyboard/mouse work; I think MSI Wind has PS2 kybd
[04:34] <drschupp> did it work in the live session?
[04:35] <maksim2042> didn't try; just went ahead and installed
[04:35] <maksim2042> stupid of me, I think
[04:35] <drschupp> how did you install without keyboard usage?
[04:35] <maksim2042> plugged in a USB external
[04:36] <drschupp> odd... and you've tried restarting it?
[04:36] <maksim2042> yup
[04:36] <maksim2042> BIOS works as wll
[04:36] <maksim2042> odd indeed
[04:38] <drschupp> Hrm... to be honest, i'm not sure what would cause ps/2 failure off a clean install
[04:38] <maksim2042> no idea
[04:39] <maksim2042> this happened under OSX too, that's why I went to UBUNTU
[04:39] <maksim2042> but that seemed to be a driver problem
[04:40] <drschupp> tried checking drivers list?
[04:40] <maksim2042> hmmm no, where?
[04:40] <drschupp> system>administration>hardware drivers
[04:40] <maksim2042> hold on
[04:41] <maksim2042> says "no proprietary drivers in use"
[04:43] <drschupp> shucks... I've heard about problems of proprietary drivers conflicting
[04:43] <maksim2042> gonna try live cd
[04:44] <maksim2042> ok, kbd doens't work booting off USB either
[04:45] <drschupp> sorry, dude, I can't think of anything that should cause that... definitely send in a bug ticket
[04:45] <maksim2042> this is the weirdest... I've struggled with EVERY part of a machine while installing Linux, never with Keyboard!
[04:46] <maksim2042> hmm... maybe I'll go back to OS X... I just want a functional M$-free netbook
