Mouse/keyboard not working properly
Laptop: MacbookPro retina 13" early 2015
Keyboard: A1243
Mouse: M/N:N910U
USB: PNY16GB
Kali: 2018.1-amd64.iso
I've been having the recent problem of my keyboard/mouse, hardware or external, not functioning whatsoever after entering persistence mode in Kali.
The steps taken to reproduce the issue are simple.
with or without keyboard/mouse plugged in:
Code:
apt-get update
reboot -h now
normal functionality
with keyboard/mouse plugged in, or even after unplugging keyboard/mouse before executing reboot:
Code:
apt-get upgrade
reboot -h now
unable to use either hardware trackpad/keyboard or external mouse/keyboard
Which logs can I grab off of the persistence partition to post here?
I'm at a loss of what could be causing this.
Mouse and keyborad works fine ...
Desktop Lenovo H50-50
kali 2018.1 amd64
# apt-get update
# apt-mark hold linux-image-4.14.0-kali3-amd64
# apt-get full-upgrade
Mouse and keyboard retun back.
tnx for help.

everything works after installation, then apt update and apt upgrade and no input devices anymore.
got a question for those suggesting solutions: how can you recover your systems? or are these solutions only working after reinstalling kali on the persistence partition?
I attempted a few recover attempts by booting in non-persistent way, mounting my luks encrypted persistence partition, and chrooting into it, but commands like apt are unfortunately not available, (they are in the live portion of the distribution, so if you chroot on the persistent portion you lose them).
do you have a pointer on how to use these apt-mark commands, or reinstalling and issuing these commands before the fatal apt upgrade is the only option?
thanks a lot
I'm in the same boat. Does anyone have a fix that's doesn't require reinstalling Kali to fix this? I can access the files from Live, is there a way I can change a config file or delete something to fix this? Or maybe download or create a file? I would really rather fix this without having to reinstall everything.
