GRUB 2 USB Keyboard
Hello;
I have a dual boot Windows 7 / Xubuntu 14.10 with Grub 2 machine running on my laptop. My keyboard on my laptop has died and Grub doesnt recognise my USB keyboard so I am not stuck with the default option and have lost my dual boot.
I have searched and tried lots of things but still have the issue:
BIOS: USB Legacy mode is enabled.
Mouse Pointer: Removed USB mouse pointer but the keyboard still ignored
Add usb usb keyboard to grub loaded modules, saved changes and updated grub - same issue.
Pre-Grub the USB keyboard works fine, Num Lock, Caps Lock and can even trigger the PC to enter the BIOS. Once past GRUB loader screen again the keyboard works fine.
Very occasionally if i press buttons on the USB keyboard pre Grub (so smashing CTRL or space etc) the keyboard is detected in GRUB, but its far from a certain thing and often ends in the same issue of the default OS being loaded.
Thanks for any help, this issue is killing me!
