</div>It is unclear, but is the entire OS encrypted, just the HOME or everything<br>
except /boot?<br>
<br>
* Keyboards and mice that need batteries are bad.<br>
* If you use encryption, you NEEEEEEEEED fantastic, automatic, backups.<br>
<br>
I'd try these things:<br>
<br>
a) use a standard PS2 keyboard. USB is an abomination, prone to problems when<br>
things aren't working. I would suggest using a serial keyboard, but those aren't<br>
very well supported anymore. Anyone else have a Logitech C-Series mouse that<br>
doesn't work?<br>
<br>
b) run an fsck of the file system from a rescue boot.<br>
<br>
c) setup automatic, daily, backups for the data that you really want to keep.<br>
