HP Elitedesk 800 G2 i5 6500
Linux

the PC boots off the DVD and (also try with USB)  with no problems but when it reaches the "Select a language" Linux 8.04.1 window, the mouse and keyboard (using ps2 port) stop working so I can not continue with the installation.

 i keep   legacy system enale and secure boot disable. 

Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem? I aslo update BIOS and now using version 02.20 06/05/2017?

Hi

 

It is possible that the keyboard/mouse combination is not supported.

 

Can you try a later version of Ubuntu

 

For example, for 8.04 LTS to 16.04.3 LTS or 17.10?

 

The later versions will support Secure Boot, or

Let it install with the default language, probably US English, and then change it immediately afterwards.

 

If in doubt please ask.

Your computer: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04818335.pdf

 

has both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports:

Try connecting your keyboard & mouse to the USB 2.0 ports, and then try to install UBUNTU 16 or 17.

This could be UBUNTU automatically downloading many updates, and thus "freezing" during those updates. Maybe.

 

Did you try installing UBUNTU 16 ?
