Comment 25 for bug 1050855

The answers,
1. For desktop installations the keyboard is not recognised *only* during the human-keyboard screen. Because pressing the space bar during that menu does not bring the text only installation window, instead it progress to the screen (screen shot attached desk_inst.jpg) where we could either 'Install Ubuntu' or 'Try Ubuntu' using mouse. So as per the comments #5, #6 and #7 I could continue the installation using mouse and thereafter the installation starts in the graphical mode i was able to use the keyboard to enter the values such as selecting the regions, username passwords etc. Keyboard worked after the installation as well and I was able to do an apport collect after the installation.

But for server installations, there is no way of bypassing the initial options menu without a keypress.(arrow keys and enter key). There fore I could not finish the installation.

2. Thus is not Sigma Micro Keyboard although could be a derivation of it,but it has the number pad separately. I don't have any other keyboards at the moment. I could try if that's absolutely important, but may take a while
