Unresponsive keyboard and trackpad after installing Lite 4.0 - mystery - 06-16-2018 Hi all The reviews of Lite 4.0 are great and it looks terrific running live. The install went without issue except that on reboot there is no keyboard and no trackpad/mouse at the login screen. The cursor flashes a few times then stops. I can't get to a command line to try a fix. The notebook is essentially bricked. Specs Asus U31S CPU Intel Core i3 380M / 2.53 GHz Nvidia graphics card but using the Nouveau video driver. Nvidia driver was not installed. Four GB memory. I have had no similar problem with any other recent distro (Ubuntu Mate, Solus Mate, Archlabs). Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. Re: Unresponsive keyboard and trackpad after installing Lite 4.0 - JanetBiggar - 06-17-2018 Hi Mystery, I see no one else has replied so thought I’d ask: have you tried plugging in an external keyboard and mouse to see if this allows you to get into terminal or even lite tweaks where I think there are some keyboard and mouse options? [SOLVED] Re: Unresponsive keyboard and trackpad after installing Lite 4.0 - mystery - 06-18-2018 Hi JanetBiggar Thanks for the suggestion. I have not tried plugging in external devices, but it's certainly worth a shot. I overwrote Lite with MX Linux so it may take a while to get around to giving Lite another go. The problem is particular to this notebook and Lite because Lite installed OK on a desktop and there have been no similar problems recorded in the Forum. So it's an isolated instance. Before installing MX I tried Lite 3.8 thinking it might be an issue with 4.0, but the same thing happened - unresponsive trackpad and keyboard at the login screen. Also worth noting is that the log in screen is at a low resolution indicating that the Nouveau driver did not load. UPDATE: The problem is solved. The EFI partition had a few leftovers from previous installs of other distros. One or more of these must have been interfering with the boot.
