Question Ubuntu Grub


Hi all

I run a duel boot system, one windows and the other Ubuntu 9.04

Since I've used a logitech wireless key board I cant switch between my operating systems because I need the up and down arrows keys to pick which OS I want to go into

Is there other way I can switch between them, does Ubuntu 9.04 have some type of USB driver that the grub can pick up

A little lost on what to do her

TT

Invalid or unsupported executable format

What kind of Logitech wireless keyboard do you use ?
On startup did you get the message from the BIOS USB keyboard detected
In my opinion it has nothing to do with Ubuntu but with you're BIOS setting .
Some wireless keyboard has also a PS2 connection , did you try that one ?
If you have it plug that one also in
