alternate iso missing hid-logitech-dj driver

[Peter Hurley]

SRU Justification

Impact

Loss of input during installation.

Fix

Include hid-logitech-dj in input-modules udeb.

Test Case

Install using a wireless keyboarded handled by hid-logitech-dj

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With amd64 alternate iso 20120406, the installer appears to 'hang' at location selection. Hard restart necessary.

However this is actually due to the wireless keyboard being non-responsive. This is because the hid-logitech-dj driver (for Logitech Unifying Receiver devices) is not present.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

The kernel packaging needs to add this to the input-modules udeb.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Hello Peter, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

I've examined the contents of the input-modules udeb from the 3.2.0-24.37 kernel in precise-proposed and can confirm the hid-logitech-dj module is included:

$ dpkg -c input-modules-3.2.0-24-generic-di_3.2.0-24.37_amd64.udeb | grep "hid-logitech-dj"
-rw-r--r-- root/root 27192 2012-04-25 04:52 ./lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.ko

[Minjae (minjae-d-kim)]

I see an identical symptom for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 *Server* during the very first step of installation. Logitech Unifying Receiver keyboards do not work while a regular USB keyboard works fine.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

Still broken in quantal mini iso.....

AMD64 ALTERNATIVE
This bug was firt reported when 12.04 was released.
It was confirmed and 'fixed'.

When 12.04.1 was released - it is still there.

Are there any instructions for streamlimining the 'fixed' code into the 12.04.1 iso or will the iso be updated? Or do wew wait for 13.04.x?

[davidr (davaweb)]

That doesn't answer my question -

Are there any instructions for streamlimining the 'fixed' code into the 12.04.1 iso? (by users)

12.04.1 still requires a different or wired keyboard for installation.

[Åka Sikrom (akrosikam)]

Same issue here. 12.04.1 still requires a different or wired keyboard for installation.

[Brett Lehrer (brett-lehrer)]

I'm having the same problem, except I've tried multiple different wired USB keyboards and none have worked.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

Marking "Won't Fix" since no more ISOs will be created with the Quantal kernel.

[Florian (florian2000-m)]

I have the exact same issue with Logitech keyboard K520 and Ubuntu Server iso 15.10

It looks like an issue with alternate iso as it is working with Linuxmint installer (which - I think - is based on Ubuntu desktop 15.10)

(I tried that because the desktop installer is not handling my fakeRAID correctly!)

I did not find any recent bug related to this issue, any idea? Any workaround (I have been looking for an other keyboard to make the installation but I don't have PS2 or other USB anymore!)

[Jeremiah James (jwjames83)]

This appears to still be an issue. I've attempted to install 14.04.3 using a Logitech K800. I can begin the install process, though I'm stuck at the first step of the installation: [!!] Select a language.

[senz (senz)]

Confirming issue ubuntu 15.10 server amd64 with Logitech K230

[Sam (lznux)]

Hopefully this fix makes 16.04. Go look what Debian is doing... works fine in Jessie.
