[ubuntu] USB wireless keyboard/mouse stops working

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – This happens every few hours. I am running fine and then the keyboard and mouse completely stop working - though the system seems to be still running. I've tried two different wireless keyboard/mouse sets (different models) and the same thing happens. I am running 9.04 on a Dell 9100 in dual boot with XP. This problem does not seem to occur in the XP os. Thanks (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] USB wireless keyboard/mouse stops working

Hi guys,

im am running in to a similar problem. Dell e521 having trouble with usb mouse and keyboard. During installation i lost the mouse and was forced to restart when the keyboard stopped workin also. Af... [by Jataadroid]

I needed to have a logictech LX500 wireless keyboard and mouse on a UBUNTU system (LUCID) 64bit. Both mouse and keyboard communicate with a single USB wireless unit.

I just recently decided to install the most recent Ubuntu version on my Dell XPS 15z running Windows 7 (in hopes of using it to code).

However, after installing, I realized that neither my keyboard nor my mouse worked with Ubuntu. I couldn't move or type. It works with an outside keyboard and mouse, just not my laptops trackpad and keyboard. How do I fix this?

Hi I have a strange problem. My mouse and keyboard are working without a problem most of the time. But sometimes (no specific situation, can't reproduce) there's a bug and the mouse is jumping around for 1-2 secs and the keyboard is pressing like all keys at once. After those 1-2 seconds its possible that either the keyboard or mouse or both don't react anymore, and I need to restart.

Hi There, I had a strange problem where by my wireless keyboard wouldn't work on boot up. Mouse works fine. If I unplug then replug the dongle it works. Thinking the keyboard was duff I today bought a new keyboard/ mouse wireless combo. It's a different make, yet it does exactly the same.

Anybody any ideas what is causing this?

I recently upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04, I have a wireless Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse (both ise the same dongle) my mouse works but the keyboard doesn't (it types random things) but my wired keyboard works just fine, is there a fix for this?

Sample: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog (wired keyboard) 1zJVIXmdlaYDPujbcDIZ1zWNEFod2 (I typed the same thing, but here's what shows up)

I'm about to add a wireless mouse and keyboard to the computer (running opensuse 11.2). Do I just plug them in? Do I have to load any drivers? Do I keep my wired keyboard/mouse plugged in at first?

It's: logitech cordless desktop wave pro

When I'm working for some amount of time (usually around 30 minutes) my mouse and keyboard completely stop working. I have to do a cold reboot to get it working again.

They are USB. I am running 12.04 64 bit.

I am a novice to linux, and I need help to troubleshoot this issue. This is obviously a large issue for me.
