No Keyboard or mouse input using HP iLO3/iLO2 remote console

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – HP's iLO2 and iLO3 remote consoles are Windows or Java based software KVM consoles launched from a web based administration panel on a server's dedicated management port. I can POST mulitple iLO systems, interact with the BIOS and grub successfully and watch the Linux kernel boot. RHEL and SUSE boot and operate completely normally. However when I boot Fedora 17, I get to the initial GUI language selection prompt and am unable to interact with the mouse or keyboard. If I move to the server's physical keyboard and mouse I can interact with the system fine and complete the installation. (HowTos)

Stories similar to No Keyboard or mouse input using HP iLO3/iLO2 remote console

I've never had an issue with ILO2 or 3 on any Fedora installation. Now however, after grub, the keyboard stops responding. I can get into the bios and select grub options, but after that, nothing. The hardware is a DL120 G7.

Any ideas?

I installed Fedora 17 on my laptop, where I use a keyboard (Logitech K120) and mouse (generic USB mouse) connected to a hub.

Then I noticed that neither the keyboard nor the mouse worked.

HP iLO2 and IPv6 18 weeks 3 days ago

Does anyone know if the HP iLO2 controller has support for IPv6 as its interface address?

I have seen something about the iLO3 controllers supporting IPv6 but I am unable to find anything talking about the iLO2.

I am running the current firmware v2.12, My actual server platform is an HP Proliant DL360 G5.

Hi all. It's two days now I'm in deep troubles after my last "yum update". The system boots as usual, the graphical login pops up the normal way but no input is handled by either the internal keyboard (the system is a laptop), the mouse pad, the external USB mouse and keyboard.

"The" keyboard and "the" mouse 45 weeks 2 days ago

The thread http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=282147, which I don't know how to answer, brings up the question of how "the" keyboard and "the" mouse are determined when a system has more than one keyboard and mouse attached to it.

On our SuSe 11.1 PC keyboard and mouse are no more responding although it did work properly until yesterday. We shut down the computer yesterday evening and today they do not work anymore.

I don't get this. They're just USB devices on an Gigabyte AM3+ motherboard, but Ubuntu 10.04 supports them fine while 12.04/12.10 is completely unusable. They're not even powered on past the text boot menu of the lubuntu discs. Is this because the keyboard and mouse are likely USB 1.1? Actually, the keyboard is an Acer that came with my mother's new machine a couple months ago.

I'm trying to install 12.10 on my system, but my mouse and keyboard are not working during installation. I use the Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth mouse+keyboard combo with a Bluetooth dongle.

My keyboard and mouse work in my UEFI bios, and during the Windows 7/8 installation.

I installed ubuntu on my T500 laptop a couple of days ago and everything was working fine. Today I plugged a usb keyboard and mouse directly into 2 of the usb ports. I then powered up. Everything was fine during the boot process I used the usb keyboard to select the boot option first in the windows - ubuntu choice and then in grub to move between the options and select one.
