No control in Grub

  Date: Dec 03    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 407
  

I installed a new harddrive in my computer and I went ahead and installed a copy
of Win7 and then a copy of 10.04. So now I can't get a chioce of which OS to
boot cause I can't move the cursor in Grub. It just gives me the top choice
after I think 10 seconds. My keyboard is a USB wireless Logitech. It works
fine in the BIOS setup and when I get into Ubuntu, but just doesn't work in
Grub. Any ideas to remedy this? Also there's a lot of buttons that are
currently not working on the keyboard. These are the option buttons. The
keyboard is Logitech 920-000264.

Ty it with other keyboards.

What about an old fashioned PS2 one, if you have a socket for that?

 
Answer #2    Answered On: Dec 03    

I use a wired keyboard to properly install os's.
I make sure the os's are installed,and properly updated,
then I'll plug in the wireless,leaving the wired one temporarily
plugged in til the wireless works properly.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I can get control with a wired PS2 keyboard no
problem. Ubuntu is completely up to date too.

I had a similar problem some time ago with a low cost and low features
keyboard. Chuck the other one.

I have done all the alpha and beta and final 10.04 and have had no trouble with
my Logitec wireless keyboard, but I have had trouble with my usb wifi adapter
not switching on when I boot up. I have not used a wired keyboard for a couple
of years.

I would suggest selecting a higher priority usb socket connected direct to the
mother board and not via a usb hub which may not be active in the early boot
sequence. (Check any diode indicators on your wireless adapter)

Is it possible for you to go into BIOS and switch to a USB keyboard there?
