My system:
- Lenovo X121e laptop
- Crucial M4 128gb 7" SSD
- Ubuntu 11.10
- USB wireless keyboard & mouse (going into a single USB wireless receiver - a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 3.0)
Minor problem but tedious nonetheless. My laptop ran out of battery and auto shut down whilst the USB wireless keyboard/mouse was connected. If one then disconnects the USB cable whilst it is off then restarts the laptop, then the computer doesn't seem to detect the OS once restarted! I get a "No operating system" message.
It is all fine if I switch it off, replug the USB wireless keyboard/mouse and restart (then unplug the USB when it is running). But is there a fix for this so I don't have to worry in future if the thing shuts down with something connected? In this case it was a USB wireless mouse/keyboard but it is easy to forsee it happening with other things (printers/memory sticks etc).
Cheers
