So, my keyboard isn't working. I can't even log in. This was already true in the Linux Mint 17.2 live environment, but I thought installing the system might fix it. I tried different USB ports. No luck. Mouse is working. Search results say that it may be bios options (tried various settings) or actually some kernel modules / init issue I don't understand. Keyboard is a Logitech G19. Apparently Logitech can be a problem because someone blacklisted it under "special hid" in the kernel. So, now I'm stuck at the login screen, can't enter my password. Keyboard works fine in bios and windows. This is definitely a promising start :-(
