I have Laptop ASUS Vivobook X556UQK, with manjaro gnome working fine, and I am trying to install Manjaro 20.1 Mikah KDE Plasma from scratch, and I have a problem with the keyboard.
Boot from a pendrive and In the first screen, the keyboard works perfect, but when I go to kde plasma to continue with the installation only the function keys work (ej fn+f2 wifi on, etc) but non other keystroke or a sigle key or number, cannot type anything in the console or any text box.
The mouse works perfectly, I try to go to settings to change the keyboard settings, but I still canāt write even though I have tried various settings.
Any suggestion? Does anyone else have this problem?
See post #14 in the link for the workaround. It did the trick for my Asus laptop. Thereās no kernel patch yet, afaik.
You could also install the 5.4 LTS kernel (use on-screen keyboard for that).
EDIT: @philm You might wanna look into that. It has been reported here and on the arch forum not only by Asus users but also by Acer users. Affected are all 5.8 and 5.9 kernels that I have tried so far. No problems reported with linux54 LTS.
Hereās the topic that I opened a couple weeks ago in order to find a solution:
I also tried a workaround using an udev rule - which is working for me. No idea how to fix that stuff on the kernel side.
Iāve got this error:
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci
in fact xhci_pci is regarding to USB 3.x controller but after reboot I couldnāt use my keyboard at the login screen so new update seems useless for me. I hope new patch comes. Maybe problem is coming from different cause.
I did this: did not updated linux-latest-ndiswrapper in pamac-gui and the update process worked. I marked it not to update. If you need ndiswrapper keep using linux57.
I ardently use the 4.4. I read that the driver has to be removed (if I read correctly)ā¦this would render the 4.4 unusableā¦any workarounds that would satisfy both paths: updating and using the 4.4?
Thanks

It cannot be installed easily without mouse. Current bluez wonāt connect to wireless mouse (known issue). Keyboard time? Trying to downgrade to bluez-git before the actual installation is wow, so hard. Try to add AUR, then install the package, then reset the bluetooth connection (which is claming to be connected but itās not). Keyboard control is terrible, you donāt see what object is selected, Ctrl-Tab doesnāt work, Ctrl-PgUp/Down doesnāt overwrite inner UI objects so it works only sometimes, no āAlt keysā, no Enter as default action (Space needs to be used for buttons even if focused and selected). Iād think Linux would be excellent in this, but itās opposite.
Manjaro has the best partitioning, but i couldnāt choose partition for EFI. I would like to use one EFI for Windows, one EFI for Linux.
Hello, after updating yesterday I couldnāt login. I followed the known issues advice (adding systems.unit=rescue.target in the boot options) but I get the error message ācannot open access to consol, the root account is lockedā afterwards. How do I solve this?
I am having two problems with the update (one of which I solved and will post below this) and this one I havenāt figured out. For some reason after the update my system will never go up from itās idle speed (800Mhz) to itās turbo speed (3.3 to 3.6Ghz). Iāve checked the speed numbers using a number of ways (with both tools like turbostat and cpupower as well as empirically with building code and using the web browser). The cpu performance profile/governor is set to performance and cpupower-gui says that the minimum speed (800Mhz) and the maximum speed (2.7Ghz) are correct. At this point Iām not sure what to do next.
The second problem was that tigervnc broke because it included references to selinux specific packages and directories. This was broken in upstream version 1.11.0-2 and is fixed by picking up the 1.11.0-4 package from Arch. More details are in the arch Linux forum post titled " TigerVNC does not start after update" (unfortunately I canāt link to it).
