Neither Mouse Nor Keyboard Wakes Up My Computer

Hi everyone,

I tried to install Elementary Freya and everything was good, though suddenly while using my laptop I get a black screen. I cannot use the mouse nor the keyboard. When I press the power button, to put the computer in sleep mode, and the open it again, I can see the desktop but cannot do anything.
I tried to use Mint 17.1 and then reinstalled Elementary again but I keep getting the same problem.
I use Linux next to windows 8.1

Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any help

Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.

Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.

Thanks for any assistance.

hey guys, how do you set the sudo to make ubuntu wake upo with the space bar or enter or whatever? right now it only wakes up if i press the on button on the pc itself.

Hey-yo,
I have problems with my keyboard and mouse sometimes when I turn my laptop on. They're just not working. Somewhere I read that it has to do with a so-called "blind registration" and that I only have to tip in my password. But no matter how many times I do that it doesn't work. I'll always have to turn off my laptop and turn it on again, hoping that it works.
I only have Linux for two months and that's the only problem I got until now. Please help ^-^'

Hello,

I've recently built a home server by updating my old gaming PC and adding a second drive. I used fstab to mount the second drive and everything has been working great.

I only need the server to work when I'm home and awake so I set it up to sleep and wake on lan. Now when the PC wakes up the second drive is not mounted anymore.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks
BTW I'm using Xubuntu.

No mouse pointer on loading Mint 17 onto new build computer: Asus A88XM-A mobo, AMD A6 7400K CPU, 4gb Corair xms3 memory, seagate hard drive, optical drive. Have updated bios to latest version from Asus web page. Mouse works ok in bios pages so believe mouse is ok.

Any ideas please?

Chapter 17 of gnuplot pdf manual (Mouse Input) says "The x11, pm, windows, ggi, and wxt terminals allow interaction with the current plot using the mouse." I wonder if my Ubuntu 13.04 has any of those, if not, then perhaps the three terminals (Terminal, UXTerm, Xterm) I can invoke here, maybe they also have the same property? The proper term is: are they mouse capable? Thanks, - A.

I want to modificate a Linux distro but i haven't knowledge for this.
What i want to do is put it in a machine and let it in a public place. It should have keyboard so people can type the things as they want. But i cant allow shortcuts, terminal or tty to be opened by this keyboard. I am thinking about 2 keyboards with different permissions. To the mouse my idea is touchscreen.I should also make a good gui so it can be more pleasant to the people. And as the idea grows i want to add more features. But i really lack knowledge to do so. Could someone give me tips of books to guide me trough this path?

I am brand new to Linux (as of yesterday) and would like to know if there is a fix or do I need a different mouse. If so, any recommendations? Thanks in advance, Alan

I have a problem with the putty ssh connection. The operating system is Windows 8.
How do I select a few lines and remove them. Using the mouse and shift + arrow keys on the keyboard does not work properly.
