Fedora 14 not detecting USB keyboard or mouse

natemarks01 · #1 18th December 2010, 01:08 PM

They don't even show up in lsusb on Fedora 14. Same devices are detected with the ubuntu 10.10 live CD. Below is the ubuntu version that I tested with
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/*ease
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"

Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

here is the lsusb info from ubuntu, neither device even shows up in lsusb on fedora14. ANy tips?

that is somehow odd something pc bios or something?
because right now im using usb mouse with usb extension and works fine...
have you tried reboot system with connected mouse keyboard.And keyboard is up numlock is green or keyboard is out of power?

natemarks01 · #3 18th December 2010, 02:36 PM

Yep. rebooted a couple of times, ran updates. I'm pretty confident it's not hardware because it's detected on the same machine with ubuntu 10.10 (live cd).

natemarks01 · #4 20th December 2010, 12:42 AM

I removed F14 and went back to F13. Works fine. I'll just chaulk it up to product maturity and check F14 later.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with Fedora 14 and a USB Keyboard, I'm able to use it in GRUB but then the OS just doesn't seem to see it. Would appreciate any idea's.

Many Thanks

and, when I leave the USB keyboard plugged in and plug in a PS2 keyboard, if I press the numberlock button on the PS2 Keyboard, the num lock light comes on, on both keyboards, but I am still only able to use the PS2 keyboard.

Tenwora · #7 21st December 2010, 04:03 PM

the truth is that i am using ps2 keyboard i didnt test usb but still i got USB mouse with extension and i reconnected it during processes and fine. All usb ports are same these days i dont see anything strange except some hardware curiosity on motherboard...
it has to be that ...

I am using a Microsoft USB wireless keyboard and mouse with Fedora 14 without problems and both show up in the output from lsusb.

Caratacas · #9 21st December 2010, 05:06 PM

lsusb doesn't see my Keyboard, it can see my mouse ok, and the mouse works fine, it's just the keyboard. Keysonic KSK-600L.

Okies, thanks anyway

natemarks · #12 4th January 2011, 03:04 PM

Just for some extra bit of information. RHEL desktop has the same detection problem. Whatever is causing it is a problem the two share. I could go back to F13, but this problem is giving me doubts about the distro. Maybe it's time for me to get more comfortable with apt.

Natemarks:

Uh, oh! You've just committed a cardinal sin! You may only have ONE account here on fedora forums. Period. I have just permanently banned your NateMarks01 account, and if you ever attempt to open another one, I'll permanently ban that one and this one, too. This is the one and only warning you will receive on this issue.

This would be an excellent time to read the forum rules as compliance is mandatory.
