Comment 6 for bug 287303

See that’s the whole problem for me, I can't even install the OS to my system if I use the dongle. It's rather strange, I do recall once getting it going but once the OS loaded I lost it. But any other time the installer usually crashes (so to speak) as it cannot deal with the dongle as it should.

This is all strange given the fact that the dongle is not even seen as a Bluetooth device, just a usb device.

I currently am not running ubuntu on this particular system so next time I attempt it I will keep in mind the unplugging of the dongle and see if I works.

At the login screen. Usually right after trying to type in my username
because I've forgotten about this bug.

As an aside, I just upgraded this box to Jaunty and it appears that
doing this causes the gdm to (recoverably) crash. But that's a
seperate bug.

Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
upon attempting to install Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 Beta the installed fails and puts be at a terminal prompt.
this is, i believe becaus eof my dell bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
if the bluetooth mouse and keyboard are not active (hitting the buttons on the keybaord or wiggling the mouse to wake it up and become active) then the Live CD will simply fail and put me at a terminal prompt. i can only reboot
if i do activate the mouse and keyboard, the Live CD will take me to the desktop but i have no mouse and keybaord functionality, no matter what i do.
again this is with a dell bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
this keyboard and mouse is a legacy type device outside of an operating system,. meaning it will operate in DOS.

using the installer, the same thing happens if i do not wake up the mouse and keybaord.

if i do wake them up i am presented, SOMETIMES, with the installer but again i have no keyboard or mouse functionality so i can not install Ubuntu.

i am pretty shocked at this considering the BT mouse and kb are a legacy recognized device.

system spec's

Intel Core2Quad Q9650
DFI P45 JR T2RS mATX board
(Intel P45 chipset and ICH10/ICH10R southbridge)
Nvidia 8800 GTX
no sound card or onboard currently
all USB devices unplugged except the mouse and keyboard.

SATA controller set to IDE and LEgacy Enabled. have tried disabling legacy mode and the same issue happens.
