Bug Description
This problem relates to support for Logitech Unifying Receiver, a USB dongle that communicate with one or more wireless devices. In this case, the devices consist of a keyboard and a mouse.
This bug appears in two contexts:
1) Ubuntu Precise alternate-
2) Ubuntu Precise encrypted LVM password prompt. After booting up a system that has been installed with LVM encryption, Plymouth appears and asks for the password. At this point the system no longer responds to key presses on the keyboard. Plugging in a USB keyboard allows use of the newly attached keyboard, but not the existing wireless one. When the login screen appears, the wireless keyboards works again.
This issue did not arise in Ubuntu Oneiric, which uses the Linux v3.0 kernel.
So I suspected it might be a kernel issue. I have tested several different kernels in a Precise system from the kernel-ppa with the following findings:
v3.0-oneiric: OK
v3.1.5-precise: OK
v3.1.10-precise: OK
v3.2-precise: NO
v3.4-rc4-precise: NO
I have tested this on three different machines with both Oneiric and Precise with the same results.
