This is similar to bug #96036. It's been around for a while it seems.
This problem occurs in the gutsy beta also. I am not using the live CD.
As soon as Ubuntu loads to the login screen the dinovo edge keyboard and mouse stop responding. For me re-seating the dongle had no effect. I was able to get it working so i could login by powering off and back on the keyboard using the switch on the right hand side of the keyboard.
Once I logged on the keyboard and mouse worked fine. Only if I rebooted did the problem reoccur. My lsusb was normal once I was logged on.
However, when I pulled the dongle out, and ran lsusb using another keyboard, lsusb would not display anything... it would just sit at a blinking cursor. When I plugged the dongle back in, it was the same problem as original, in that I had to then power off the keyboard and power it back on, and it would still not display lsusb output. I would have to reboot to get it to display again.
The permanent fix for me was to uninstall "bluez-utils" using Synaptic Packet Manager. Although to be truthful, I don't know much about the live cd, but if you load ubuntu to your hard drive, then remove the "bluez-utils" package, your keyboard should work normally. At least it worked for me.
