 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
[01:27] <mmikowski> schmo: Does USB keyboard and mouse work?
[01:27] <mmikowski> *do
[01:28] <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?
[01:30] <mmikowski> ^ I take that back; not all input devices are mapped to USB. Whoops...
 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?
 *navigate
 The laptop is a HP envy x360 2n1
 I think the year is 2018
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <mmikowski> Hmmm, envy x360 I thought was well supported.
[01:46] <mmikowski> A couple of things to try: https://linux-hardware.org/ - check your hardware there to see if someone else has the same issue.
 It looks like x11
[01:48] <mmikowski> X11 should be the safest bet.
[01:49] <mmikowski> Also, does grub work?
[01:50] <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).
[01:51] <mmikowski> I gotta get back to work, but I hope that helps...
 It works in grub, they stop working once I reach the kubuntu login screen
[02:23] <mmikowski> Schmo: That's very interesting results
[02:23] <mmikowski> So you are probably looking at an X11 configuration issue.
[02:24] <mmikowski> See if you can see the devices using 'xinput'
[02:28] <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).
[02:29] <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
[02:33] <user|81> Installation stated ther is a manual here for kubuntu 20. Is it downloadabe?
 I tried using the keyboard in the virtual terminal, it doesn't work.

[04:16] <mmikowski> schmo: Hmm, interesting. So I assume at that point SDDM, VT, and DE all don't work.
[04:18] <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.
 Hi
 I have 64 gigs flash how can i make 2 partition 59 and 5 gigs with kde partition manager?
[04:36] <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.
 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.

[14:03] <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?
[14:06] <user|56> Well, that was to trying
[14:06] <user|56> Take care all!
[14:09] <BluesKaj> user|56, if grub is installed then kubuntu or some other linux OS is already installed
[14:13] <arraybolt3> BluesKaj: Missed by one second.
[14:13] <arraybolt3> Err, nvm, I misread...
[14:14] <BluesKaj> arraybolt3, he jeft anyway ...too late

[18:39] <quarkofrog> i have kubuntu freshly installed on my thinkpad L440. The touchpad - after adjusting how it reacts in the setting - works great. (Scrolling direction, two finger right click, everything fine). However after automatic timebased sleepmode (in malual sleep this doesnt)
[18:40] <quarkofrog> .. the touchpad stops working.
[18:41] <quarkofrog> sudo modprobe -r psmouse | sudo modprobe psmouse helps reactivate the touchpad - however the settings arn't restored. Any ideas?
[19:46] <kubuntu> test
[19:47] <kubuntu> hi all
[19:48] <kubuntu> I'm on a live version here but I have a question

 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.
