I just got an Axiom 61 today, and when i plugged it into my usb port, the screen lights up blue, but without any numbers on it, and it kind of flickers. I restarted my computer, and at certain parts of the shutdown and the start up, the keyboard display would switch over like it was working for a second, and then went back to solid blue. Here is what lsusb outputs.

I plugged it into a windows computer and it worked well. So i know it's not the keyboard, but i do know that in earlier versions of ubuntu, people had no problem with it.

Thanks!
