I have a new (repeat) issue. I just did the last update on Ubuntu 14.04 
and the keyboard and mouse are no longer recognized. I tried Advanced 
Mode and Recovery mode (including going back a couple of kernel 
versions) -- same result.  This happened when I had 13.04 installed on 
that partition and upgraded

I would like to avoid reinstalling from scratch.  I do have Ubuntu 12.04 
on the same machine which still works, so if I knew what to do from it 
on the 14.04 installation, it is possible I could fix the problem.

Any suggestions would be most helpful (and I will ask again at the 
meeting on Saturday).
