Can't type login password

Support

I recently updated my pc (Manjaro with plasma) with the command sudo pacman -Syu. After rebooting it doesn’t let me type the login password nor using the mouse. It seems like keyboard and mouse are not recognized, despite they work fine in the grub menu or on Win10, which is installed as dual boot.
I can’t even use the combination ctrl+alt+f1 or any other fX button. I’m desperate.
I already tried to boot from advanced options in the grub menu and selecting other kernels with and without fallback initrams, but none of them worked

Please access the TTY as your user and let us know what happens if you run:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && pamac update

I can’t access tty since keyboard and mouse don’t work as input devices in the login screen

Please try to boot in runlevel 3 … do you know how to do that?

I booted with runlevel 3 and this is what I get with sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && pamac update:

Please try:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c Global,Austria && sudo pacman -Syyu

You can switch back to the Italian mirrors later on …

I found a solution:

  1. boot on runlevel 3 and login
  2. connect to the internet (easiest way is with a wired connection)
  3. reinstall libinput with sudo pacman -S libinput
  4. If it asks to remove libinput-multiplier due conflict, select yes
  5. Reboot and now everything should work

Thanks a lot for the help!

Is an AUR package, hence you installed it on your own … :upside_down_face:
