usb keyboard not wokring cannot boot

hello!

cleaned my keyboard yesterday!
Only when i try to highlight a selection in GRUB it does not seem to be recognized or even on. (as numlock light is on first then goes of)

Booting into BIOS is no problem.
But settings there is all fine.

After reinstalling OS, stupid stupid, made same mistake xD
Now i tried Boot repair disk.

Reinstalled grub,
that also fixed it

Hi,

you can try simply swapping the USB receiver into a different USB port and see if that helps!.

Some USB keyboards won't load in Ubuntu based systems at the very beginning because the drivers won't load that early in the boot process for some reason, one of my friends has the same problem with Lubuntu, he now uses a wired keyboard!.

HI Wolfman, Its a USB keyboard not a wireless one!

USB has a memory issue - did you disconnect the keyboard when you cleaned it? Did you put the usb connection back in the saem USB port after cleaning? I would ensure legacy is enabled in the BIOS - I would NOT enable EFI as it could render Zorin unbootable.

Hi Swarf,

I was working on the assumption that it was a wireless USB KB, now I have read it again, looks like you are right, he should still change the USB port anyway!.

Kindness is something that the blind can see and the deaf can hear. is it said by Dalai Lama?
I like :"My religion is simple, my religion is kindness" ^^
"The world, like a dream, seems real until the awakening."

That on the side. uhmm. Im gonna try to to find the port it was in before.
Just tried it on this laptop also with zorin, it works in grub LOL xD
to bad is so sssslllloooowww.

ty very much for ur time and effort!
Ill post my outcome later ^^

You must also enable usb legacy.

Hi,

it might also be a case of missing dependencies if it is running slooooooooow loke you mentioned, try this terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) command and then restart your PC and see if things are better, do that naturally after what both Swarf and MV have suggested with the USB legacy settings in BIOS:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f
