| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> Hello, my laptop's keyboard and track pad are not working(they work in bios but not on actual os). I'm not sure where to begin to fix this issue | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| mmikowski | schmo: Does USB keyboard and mouse work? | 01:27 |
| mmikowski | *do | 01:27 |
| mmikowski | Likely problem is with display server. Are you working with Wayland or X11? That said, it may be a USB issue, since internally these are almost alway represented as a USB device. Also, what computer model and year? | 01:28 |
| mmikowski | ^ I take that back; not all input devices are mapped to USB. Whoops... | 01:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> Yes, I am able to na irate with external mouse and keyboard. I am not sure whether I am using Wayland or X11, is there a way to check? | 01:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> *navigate | 01:32 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> The laptop is a HP envy x360 2n1 | 01:37 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> I think the year is 2018 | 01:39 |
| mmikowski | Schmo: Open System Settings > About this system. Then look at graphic platform. | 01:44 |
| mmikowski | In fact, if you can add all that info into a dpaste, that would be helpful. | 01:44 |
| mmikowski | Hmmm, envy x360 I thought was well supported. | 01:45 |
| mmikowski | A couple of things to try: https://linux-hardware.org/ - check your hardware there to see if someone else has the same issue. | 01:46 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> It looks like x11 | 01:47 |
| mmikowski | X11 should be the safest bet. | 01:48 |
| mmikowski | Also, does grub work? | 01:49 |
| mmikowski | When does keyboard + mouse "go away"? If you can't use them in grub, then it is almost certainly a kernel issue (firmware or need to update initramfs or similar). | 01:50 |
| mmikowski | I gotta get back to work, but I hope that helps... | 01:51 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> It works in grub, they stop working once I reach the kubuntu login screen | 01:54 |
| mmikowski | Schmo: That's very interesting results | 02:23 |
| mmikowski | So you are probably looking at an X11 configuration issue. | 02:23 |
| mmikowski | See if you can see the devices using 'xinput' | 02:24 |
| mmikowski | There are 5 stages to consider availability: BIOS (good), Grub (good), DM (like sddm: can you sign into your account from the graphical interface?), in a virtual terminal (e.g. press ctrl+alt+f2 and then try using the keyboard from there), and in the DE (e.g. KDE). If the ONLY place there is an issue is the DE, then try a different one to see if the problem still exists (XFCE is probably a good choice). | 02:28 |
| mmikowski | If, however, the problem starts at DM (during graphical login), then there likely an X config issue. | 02:29 |
| mmikowski | Ok, back to work again. | 02:29 |
| mmikowski | :P | 02:29 |
| user|81 | Installation stated ther is a manual here for kubuntu 20. Is it downloadabe? | 02:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> I tried using the keyboard in the virtual terminal, it doesn't work.

| mmikowski | schmo: Hmm, interesting. So I assume at that point SDDM, VT, and DE all don't work. | 04:16 |
| mmikowski | At this point, I'd try a live USB. Start from Kubuntu, then Ubuntu, then W10. If it works in Kubuntu, it's likely a config/install error. If it works in Ubuntu, it is likely KDE specific. If it works only in W10, then it is likely a kernel issue. | 04:18 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Omar> Hi | 04:30 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Omar> I have 64 gigs flash how can i make 2 partition 59 and 5 gigs with kde partition manager? | 04:31 |
| mmikowski | omar: Press f1 for help. | 04:36 |
| mmikowski | if your flash drive is empty, you should be able to play for a bit to solve it. It's a good app, and pretty easy to use. | 04:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Schmo> I ran Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and W10. I also tested Xubuntu and even Manjaro. I was able to move with track pad and arrow keys after boot from W10, but not the others.

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 14:03 |
| user|56 | Hi everyone! I can't seem to get past the GRUB screen to install Kubuntu. Would anyone be able to help me? | 14:03 |
| user|56 | Well, that was to trying | 14:06 |
| user|56 | Take care all! | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | user|56, if grub is installed then kubuntu or some other linux OS is already installed | 14:09 |
| arraybolt3 | BluesKaj: Missed by one second. | 14:13 |
| arraybolt3 | Err, nvm, I misread... | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | arraybolt3, he jeft anyway ...too late | 14:14 |

| quarkofrog | sudo modprobe -r psmouse | sudo modprobe psmouse helps reactivate the touchpad - however the settings arn't restored. Any ideas? | 18:41 |

| IrcsomeBot | <Ginomfs> I cannot access my vault anymore after my kubuntu 22.04 froze and had to do a hard reboot. Any way to access my vault again, correct password does not work. Only the last file i had open is available but not in the vault. | 21:27 |

| genii | What directory does ~/.config/plasmavaultrc say is the mountpoint? ... check to see if something is in there and if so then move it somewhere else... | 22:58 |
