UNRESOLVED - Keyboard not working in live session in Lite

#4

The in-built keyboard is the one that doesn’t work, and unfortunately I don’t have any external keyboards.
The PC is HP Stream x360 Convertible (11-ag002ne)

#5

The keyboard doesn’t work at all so there is no way for me to type that command

#6

Does it work at the Grub menu or in tty?

Grub menu is the boot menu right? If so then yes

#8

If you enter Recovery Menu, then Drop to prompt, you can enter installation commands.

I’m sorry but how do I enter the recovery menu? I’m still pretty new to Linux

#10

Reboot and when you see the Motherboard splash screen, begin tapping the esc key.
On older systems, it is left shift key.
It is something that may take a couple of tries...

Recovery mode wouldn’t boot so I managed to run the command with a virtual keyboard.
Sadly, nothing happened after I executed it.

#13

Umm... I just now realized you are on LiveUSB. Not installed... Sorry for that.

What type of Computer- year, make and model?

No wonder, I was trying for two hours to boot it :upside_down_face:

This is the model:

Ahhh... ok...
What is the output of:

cat /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type

(Use copy / paste)

Are you able to pull up Onboard using mouse and app menu?
That is the On Screen Keyboard.

Yes, I can

#19

I was thinking that the system thinks your computer is a tablet and so, disabled the connected keyboard.
Now, I am not sure if this is a good lead or not given you two replies above...

Will trying another Linux distro fix the problem by any chance?

#23

It very well might. I do not know for sure since we are not sure what the issue is.
I have read quite a few things, but they all come back to what we have tried:
Installing xserver-xorg-input-all

Aravisian went on a journey. His journey took him all over the globe, from east to west, north to south. He was hoping to find the lost solution, but like many things, a relic of the past, present, and future, it was lost, like the ARK.

He fought many orks along the way, fought off the annoying trolls, and met many druids on his journey. And he even seeked wisdom from the gigabyte wizards. But alas, not even they could unearth the mysteries that he seeked.

Aravisian returned with many battle scars. It truly is amazing, how far he went looking for the answer, a solution to your issue. But instead, he shall provide a tissue for your issue. We commend Aravisian for putting in much effort, by providing him many likes.
