I installed Mint14/Cinnamon in French on my wife's computer. She has a Logitech K200 Swiss USB keyboard. There are no problems once Linux is running, however when the GRUB menu is displayed the ENTER and UP/DOWN arrows do not work. I cannot select RECOVERY MODE, MEMORY TEST or OTHER OS. I have to wait for the count-down to go to zero which will then start Mint. Similarly, if I boot from an LXF cover disk I can see the menu but can go no further. If I change the keyboard for a US PS/2 keyboard all the keys function and once in Mint my American keyboard is recognised as Swiss, i.e. I type QWERTY and get QWERTZ, so the problem appears to be in GRUB and not Mint. Is there a solution other than having a second keyboard to hand?
Thanks,
Mike
