Wireless keyboard not working with Ubuntu 18.04 Live USB
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I created a Live USB with Ubunbtu 18.04 on it so I can look into dual booting on a Windows 10 PC.
When I boot Ubuntu from USB, I can't get my wireless keyboards to work. They both work on Windows, so there is no battery issue. They both use a wireless USB dongle. The wireless mouse with one of them works fine.
I used a wired keyboard to install xserver-xorg-input-all using sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all, but the wireless keyboards still won't work
Is there anything else anyone can suggest that I try ?
Edit:
Output from lsusb is as follows -

The SanDisk device is the Live Usb and Lenovo is the keyboard/mouse.
The keyboard/mouse are as supplied with the PC and are Lenovo. My alternative set with the same symptoms is by Microsoft.

If you tried the Lenovo fix from WinEunuuchs2Unix's answer and it did not work, you might want to try this modified fix that I made for another Primax (HP brand) wireless keyboard + mouse combo with similar problems:
https://github.com/JohnJohanssonChalmers/hp_wireless_keyboard
I have seen several reports of these types of problems with Primax keyboards that could not be solved with the Lenovo fix. I suspect that my modified fix might also wok for some non-HP keyboards.

"Sorry the hyperlinks aren't clickable". You can solve that with about five extra minutes of effort.

Although his doesn't solve my problem as it isn't solvable yet it does give me some options to work round the issue. I asked for suggestions for what else to try and this certainly provides some. Thanks.

If you tried the Lenovo fix from WinEunuuchs2Unix's answer and it did not work, you might want to try this modified fix that I made for another Primax (HP brand) wireless keyboard + mouse combo with similar problems:
https://github.com/JohnJohanssonChalmers/hp_wireless_keyboard
I have seen several reports of these types of problems with Primax keyboards that could not be solved with the Lenovo fix. I suspect that my modified fix might also wok for some non-HP keyboards.

If it's USB it really should work out of the box, can you add the VID/PID of the keyboard
– jrtapsell

@jrtapsell - Can you tell me what you mean by VID/PID of the keyboard ?
– BriteSponge
May 29 '18 at 23:11
@DavidFoerster - One of the keyboard/mouse combos is Microsoft and the other is Lenovo. They both have the same sympton. I'll get the 'lsusb' output and attach to the question shortly.
