Troubles with PS2

My new motherboard has a PS2 connector and I still have a PS2 Logitech keyboard working fine, so why not using it. Quite worried because sometimes it stopped working. Did not understand what s the matter. Plugging in and off, sometimes it did help, sometimes not.

I have some spare PS2 keyboards, so I wanted to find out if there s something odd with this keyboard.

Then I did rmember that some time ago I did have some issues with the PS2 extension cable. And in fact, the reason for this miship, a pin inside the connector has not been straight any more. Put it up straight could fix this issue

Ubuntu : PS2 Mouse is not responding

Took me quite a while to find out how to overcome this problem. Because quite weary restarting the PC.
The keyboard was working fine. Just the mouse. Did not want to take a USB Mouse (matter of not compromising ressources).

Could get it fixed opening a terminal window …

sudo modprobe -rv psmouse
sudo modprobe -v psmouse
