Wifi Bluetooth (INTEL 8260)/ Keyboard and Mouse (Touchpad)

[SOLVED] Wifi Bluetooth (INTEL 8260)/ Keyboard and Mouse (Touchpad) GIGABYTE P57

Hi all, new user here.

For anyone having this issue with kali rolling 2.0 with kernel 4.7.0-kali1-amd64

So i have managed to fix my wireless / bluetooth issues on kali 2.0 rolling:
wireless worked fine out of the box but bluetooth did not however i did update the driver from:

Code:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi

then reboot

i then noticed hci0 was trying to load drivers
here is how i found the fix for it.

during boot i noticed HCI0: (dmesg | grep -i hci0)

Code:

You will have to install bluez and bluez-utils

Then run the following in Terminal:

I am running as root so you may need 'su' or 'sudo'

Code:

modprobe btusb systemctl enable bluetooth systemctl start bluetooth then to confirm run hcitool dev

the problem is you will have to run the above commands every time you cold boot kali

i have my commands at the end of the bash.bashrc file located in /etc/ followed by the clear command.

anyone more experienced if there is a better way to load this on start up please advise. my Username on this forum is exactly how much nix i know

i found some of the solution on an arch linux or mint article, i dont deserve credit for this as i put it together from many sources. i will post links once i find them.

Hi all,

sorry for double posting guys

I cannot figure out my touchpad problem (ELANTECH PS/2), the keyboard works fine though.

I have tried:

Code:

modprobe -r psmouse modprobe psmouse proto=imps

However this does not do anything for my pc.

The laptop is a Gigabyte P57
4.7.0-kali1-amd64
Kali 2.0 Rolling ??

It's as if Kali wont detect the touchpad at all

Any help would be greatyl appreciated.

Well i have found a solution for my ELANTECH Trackpad/Touchpad Laptop Mouse,

I used synaptic package manager to check installed drivers, i found i had installed libinput alongside synaptics.
a little research and i found out this would have caused libinput to take precedence over synaptics,

Removed all xinput packages and only installed synaptics.

I then found a site that said to copy 70-synaptics.conf from etc/x11/xorg.conf.d to usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d (your synaptics.conf starting number may be different)

then i ran

Code:

sudo update-grub

then restarted the machine.... wooohoo touchpad works!.

i dont know how above fixed it but it did.

next i had the problem (a few minutes ago actually) where the keyboard would not respond after login to kali.

to fix this issue i did the following:

at login press CTRL + ALT + F1 or F2 or F3 for the command shell or tty i think it's called.

Code:

vi etc/default/grub

(i have never used vim before this) it was a pain!
I then had to change

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT="quiet"

to

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT="quiet i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1"

then save and quit.

run:

Code:

sudo update-grub

and finally install

Code:

apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev -y

at this stage im not sure what fixed my keyboard the grub config or the evdev driver

im done messing with it now. i have working INTEL 8260 rev 3a wireless and bluetooth
and the keyboard and touchpad work on my laptop also.
