I'm very new to new to Ubuntu (and Linux in general) and was very excited today when my Ubuntu 9.04 disc came in the mail. My HP Pavillion dv6000 on the main partition, and came with a secondary recovery partition. I deleted the recovery partition, then shrunk the C:/ drive within Vista. I had about 130gb with Vista (which, after all was said and done, works 100% like it did before), and about 50 gigs free. With the advice of a friend, I made about 47 gigs for Ubuntu, and about 3 gigs for a "Swap Area" partition.
Anyway, like I said, Vista works fine. However, after choosing Ubuntu in the grubb bootloader, I get to the login screen where I'm supposed to choose a username. At this point, my keyboard and mouse (not a USB keyboard or mouse, the ones built into my laptop) don't respond at all. The capslock key doesn't turn the light on or off either. The enable/disable touchpad does make the little light turn from blue to red and back, although that doesn't do anything.
The mouse still works fine when booting Vista, and worked/works fine when booting from the disc. What do I do?
