 Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:00 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Mice and Keyboard don't work after startx |
 |
|
I'm still new at linux.
After starting the sddm with
| Code: | rc-update add xdm default
/etc/init.d/xdm start |
Everything works fine, but after getting to a login interface neither my mouse or keyboard work. I have already tried to ALT+CTRL+FX it works, but the xdm starts either way and then I am stuck again at the login ui.
How can I halt/pause the xdm from starting on boot so I can debug what's wrong?
What would fix my issue?
I'm running NVIDIA, kde plasma-meta, grub platforms efi-64.
Sincerely, Pufikas.

Thanks!
This looks promising, how do I do that? I'm pretty much stuck on boot I go to the sddm/xdm login page that means my mice and keyboard don't work.
Do I need to boot via usb and make the changes?

If you can't access to a text console you should boot from some media and make chroot in your gentoo installation.
But are you sure that problem is only in X?
Don't add the service to the default runlevel but leave it disabled so that from a text console you can do some testing.

It seems I managed to fix the issue by adding init=/bin/bash to gnu grub.
Then running mount -o remount,rw /and fixing the display manager with the link you provided.
