After setting "nomodeset" in order to run the live CD and install 12.04 LTS onto my hard drive, when I boot into my new system, my keyboard and mouse are locked.
...let me clarify that: the live CD or USB needs "nomodeset" in grub to work. But after the hard drive install, I don't have the chance to toggle that option.
I'm pretty much 100% sure nomodeset would fix this but there appears to be no options for Grub, just a plain purple screen for a few seconds. Hitting [TAB] there does nothing and it just boots into the login screen with no mouse* or keyboard. I can get into the live CD to fix things but... where do I start?
* Well, actually the mouse does work after a while in that it moves but it can't click anything.
