[SOLVED]Keyboard and touchpad doesn't work after reboot from Arch

Excuse me, but i'm a newbie. I'm not sure if this is an arch problem, but i will just post it here.
I've beening using Arch64 and it works just fine. However, every time i reboot from arch into Windows 7 (32bit), the keyboard and touchpad will stop responding just when the Win7 splash screen shows, however the mouse works fine. Then when you shutdown the computer (from win7 now) it will take apparently longer time, and sometimes i have to press the power key 5 seconds to make it shutdown.
It seems the correct way (to reboot from arch to win7) is to shutdown down the computer first and start it again, and everything will work fine.
And rebooting from win7 to win7 or arch to arch or win7 to arch will work fine too.
I'm glad to post extra information, but I've got no clue and i'm not sure what to put here.
The laptop is a Lenovo Y450 with Intel Core Dual P7540, 4G Memory, NV GT240M. Kernel version of Arch is 3.0.6 (but the problem existed long since earlier versions) I don't have a swap partition. If you need extra information, please mention the item.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
That is indeed strange. Since your external mouse works fine (which probably is connected via USB, right?) it appears that the problem lies somewhere around the internal keyboard/touchpad access. I'm not sure how this works with a Lenovo Y450, but just try to enter BIOS (in case you have not been there, you probably have to hit F1 or F2 during startup - less likely it would be delete or escape ...) and look for your keyboard/touchpad options.
You should probably find something like "... legacy support ...". This is a relic from PS/2 times and emulates your internal input devices as PS/2 devices. So - when found, just change the setting (you cannot mess anything up, and both systems will probably not even pop up a message). My guess is it is set to "enabled" and Arch somehow messes with the PS/2 emulation in your case .... so just turn it off.
good luck

Touchpad doesn't work after changing from Vista to XP Satellite A210

Hi everybody!
I have changed Windows and now something is wrong with Touchpad. It works only as a mouse (cursor moves, right and left buttons are also ok).
Before with Vista I had email button, wireless connection, something else and sound changing, and plus it had extra blue light. Now these buttons are not active and no etrxa light.
Laptop Satellite A210.
I've tried all possible drivers already but maybe you could advice me something else.
thanks in advance!

please try this one

Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML

My Mail server doesn't work after upgrading from SL to ML
Mail client connects with the Mail Server wich seems to run but then they can't receive any email...
the problem seems to be related with dovecot ... in my smtp log i get this:
relay=dovecot, delay=324, delays=324/0.02/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: pipe: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver: Permission denied
I have to say that in the usr/libexec there wasn't the dovecot directory so I just tried to create one but with no luck
Any Ideas?
Cheers

Keyboard and Mouse don't work after upgrade

Hi, about one week ago, i've made a system wide upgrade and after reboot my keyboard and mouse stopped working. My hard disk is encrypted and without keyboard i remain at the prompt which asks my password to unlock the encrypted partitions. So i don't even arrive to login manager. I tried all the solutions i could find but none of them worked for me. I saw similar posts on the forum and i'm sorry if i'm posting it in wrong place.
Here is my Xorg.0.log file, it seems like because of hotplugging, xorg disables mouse and keyboard but i couldn't disable hotplugging with the given methods like adding flag to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
I 've installed/deleted xf86-input-keyboard/mouse and reinstalled xf86-input-evdev etc and it didn't work.
I tried to downgrade to different versions of kernel, i didn't work.
There are "00-keyboard.conf" "10-evdev.conf" "10-quirks.conf" "50-synaptics.conf" files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
So i don't know what to do else, i hope someone can help me.

Post the module names that that finds here. Also, look in your initrd for modules for the LPC bus driver. It does not exist in mine.

But, my keyboard and touchpad don't exist in the ISA bus address space. Things that used to live on the 1980's vintage ISA bus (like serial UARTS and ancient keyboard controllers) are now serviced by the serial LPC bus. I think you don't have that driver available in the initrd preboot environment
Sorry, i'm not good at these things, so which driver i should install if it's the case? (By the way, i added atkbd to the MODULES= and "earlymodules=atkbd modules-load=atkbd" to the kernel parameters, but i didn't make any change.)

Note that you shouldn't do this as a permanent solution, but just to get through the bootloader issue for now, manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change the relevant lines to point to the LTS kernel (in other words, grub-mkconfig should NOT fail, but that's not your biggest problem right now). This way the entry that pointed to the common kernel should now point to the LTS one.
You can find the LTS kernel files in /boot; the names should give them away. Remember to change both the kernel and initrd lines in grub.cfg.
In fact, i also have done as you told(by changing lines to the lts) and read about the error that grub-mkconfig gives me. It says it's ok, error is not important it should work properly. So i have some problem with my bootloader. I can't see the boot option anyway. Problem must be about UEFI because i remember that i had booting problems also when i first installed arch to my computer. I see all lts and lts.img files under /boot directory but somehow don't see as boot option.
Anyway, thanks a lot for all your help, maybe i do something wrong, i can't solve the problen. I'm going to reinstall my system, because i don't have time anymore. I hope at least this post would be useful for somebody else.

Lenovo g50-70 keyboard and touchpad won't work at the same time

My Lenovo g50-70 will not allow me to use my keyboard the touchpad at the same time. If' i'm moving the mouse pointer and then try to type something at the same time the pointer will stop moving until i stop typing. I've searched the dicussion boards for a solution to this problem and I have found posts that instruct me to minimize the palm tracking portion of the driver. I now have the palm tracking set to the minimum value but it has not made a difference to my problem. does anyone have another solution?

Hi Dumptruck,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with keyboard and touchpad in your Lenovo G50-70 laptop.
Try to uninstall the touchpad driver and restart the system and reinstall the driver and check for the issue.
Click here for the touchpad driver for windows 7.
Click here for the touchpad driver for windows 8.1.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.

Windows users doesn't work after migrating from old to new server!

We have done a complete re-install on our XServe with OD. We have about 10 Windows users, and after the installation all their settings and mail are gone. All the "normal" files are there though.
I'm not sure we have done it the right way though: We did a backup from the old server (a bootable copy with Super Duper), then we formatted and installed everything. We made new accounts (with different names if that's good to know) and copied the users home folders to the new location. The Mac clients seem to work good, but all the settings on the Windows clients are gone...
Is there an easier way to this? We still have the workable copy from the old installation. There seems to be some kind of export/import way to do this, but I haven't got a clue how to do that...
Please help!

davidh,
We didn't reintegrate smb.conf, but set the new server up just like the old one. We did however compare these files to see that the vital parts (netlogon, shares and so on, and of course basic settings) were correct.
We also copied the user files and profiles and made them identical on the new server, except for placing them under the new usernames.
Regarding the Local Settings folder, it doesn't exist on the old server, that's one of the weird things. We've checked the profile for a user on the client machine, and it is a roaming profile. That's why we're a bit puzzled as to why the login works and all files are there, but the user preferences and Outlook doesn't work.
I know I've read somewhere that the Local Settings aren't replicated like the other files in a roaming profile, but I haven't finished checking up on that. I wouldn't expect anything else than that Windows takes care of Outlook e-mail for a roaming profile as well though; I mean, the user must be able to read his/her mail from any computer in the domain, what else would the purpose of a roaming profile be?
Except for the weird thing about us not being able to find the user preferences or Outlook files for the client amongst the files on the server, I feel we're missing something; Apparently Windows isn't as straight forward as one would expect (not sure why I did expect anything, come to think of it).
We're going to give it a new go next weekend. Except for doing further research we're thinking of copying /etc/smb.conf and the files in /var/samba and /var/db/samba to the new server, along with exporting and importing the old user accounts to the new server, and then see if everything works as expected.
If so, we'll see if we can change the account names in a nice way, it's really desired to do so.
If not, we really need to do some more research, but if I'm not mistaking, the Samba-related files I just mentioned are the ones that pretty much make up the Windows Services in OS X, isn't that so?
Thanks!

Keyboard and Mouse doesn't work on system preferences after 10.5.2 upgrade

The keyboard and mouse configuration through the system preferences painel has stopped working after installing the update to version 10.5.2 of the Mac OS X.
This occurs when using the Brazilian Portuguese language. Any suggestion?

I've found a fix here:
http://antoniofonseca.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/correcao-para-o-problema-do-tecla do-e-mouse-no-leopard-1052-em-pt-br/
In short: there's a problem with the Brazilian Portuguese translation, it's the only language affected.

I restarted Windows 8, but now my keyboard and touchpad don't work!

I have an HP Envy M6-1184ca laptop that I got about 4 weeks ago. It's running Windows 8 64-bit. Today, I downloaded and installed VirtualBox and it disabled my wireless adapter for the installation. So, when it was done, I tried to re-enable it, but it wouldn't enable, so I went to reboot. I saw that there were updates available so I chose update and restart. It updated and restarted.
But, when it showed the lock screen, my cursor wasn't there. I tried moving my finger on the touchpad. It didn't work. Clicking did nothing. Typing and pressing keys did nothing, except for the keyboard light key and the brightness controls. I can still log in however since I've got a fingerprint reader. But after it logs me in, everything on the keyboard stops working, even the screen brightness controls and the keyboard light button! I get no error messages whatsoever.
I've tried several hard reboots and nothing fixed it. I'm out of ideas. I don't want to re-install Windows because I have files that can never be recovered, ever. They'd be lost for good. And I haven't backed them up! Please help me!

Hi,
You should still be able to connect a usb keyboard and mouse to use as a workaround in Windows. You should strongly consider running Windows system restore and choosing a restore point before 02/03/2013. That should take care of the majority of the issues.
Afterwards do not run the Windows update in automatic mode. Find out which update that it wants to install and do a Google search for issues with it. You can not have been alone in having this happen.
Reinstall the HP Quick Launch software and the HP Software framework.
If you have Windows 8 Pro as your operating system, then you can use Hyper-V instead of VirtualBox. VirtualBox may have been the root cause.

[SOLVED] network randomly doesn't work after reboot (e100)

Hi
Lately I have some weird issues with network. I shutdown computer during night, so basicly I reboot it at least once per day and every now and then without any pattern network doesn't work at all and so far only solution I have found is to reboot (again).
Before anything else I'm sure it's not hardware problem, since other OS on same computer don't have any issues, neither is router since other devices in network from laptops to mobile phones work flawless.
Relevant info and what I have found so far (not everything is copy/pasted so there may be some typos):
$less rc.conf (network part)

So basicly network is dead, can't even ping router, cable connection is detected tho (lights are on). I have tried to restart newtork with /etc/rc.d/network stop/start, nothing. Only clue is dmesg.
$dmesg

modrope -r e100 and then reloading it doesn't help either, but reboot does (once I had to reboot twice tho).
Anyone with more clue and ideas then me, it's getting really annoying, it also kill whole KDE plasma-desktop for couple of minutes before plasmoids find out network is really down and I'm not really fan of morning "gamble". I can't pinpoint some hard date/update when this started to happening because like I said it's random but last couple of months should be quite accurate. Thanks in advance.

I don't have anything special set at router but I doubt rc.conf play any role. I will try to set it up with dhcp (but I think I have tried that already) if there is any change.
This morning I had to reboot twice, so new kernel didn't help. Fowler, what network card are you using, also e100 (well or some intel)? I dunno, should this be handed to the kernel team? If it will piss me enough one morning I'll just go and buy a new network card, just wanna be sure that will really solve the problem.
UPDATE: OK, this is just silly. I remebered I have acctualy onboard LAN so I edited rc.conf and dived into the dust under my desk to move cable and there I found out it was acctual onboard in use all the time Now this dosen't make much sense to me anymore, when I can't get net up all the stuff in dmesg is e100 related. Anyway, I connected network to e100 and rebooted, suprise, same story. Dmesg reported again link was not ready. I edited rc.conf to
INTERFACES=(eth0 !eth1)
in case this has anything to do with proper timing at assigning whatever needs to be assigned to network cards at boot so I'm sure just 1 card with all info provided get's kicked in at boot. First reboot after that works, it dosen't prove anything yet but at leat it's some kind of progress in recognising proper cause.
UPDATE 2: Nah, still happens. Googling for "no link during initialization" show a lot of familiar problems, almost all on nforce motherboards and mine is nforce too. I just don't get it why this mess seperate PCI network card. In any case it's extremely annoying.

GT70 keyboard and touchpad no longer working [Windows 7]

I've had this machine for nearly a year without any problems, but yesterday my keyboard stopped working. No keys at all are registered in Windows when I type. The keyboard seems physically ok, however, since I am able to get into the BIOS setup menu and boot menu, etc. Just once Windows launches it stops working.
Symptoms:
- Keyboard will not work in Windows.
- I've noticed that the touchpad does not work either.
- I can enable/disable touchpad from S-Bar, and the physical enable/disable touchpad button's light will change, but the touchpad does not work.
- An external mouse works correctly.
- An external keyboard works correctly.
- My machine boots up with Wi-Fi turned off now (that never happened before). I am able to turn it on via S-Bar.
What I've tried:
- Shutting down, removing battery and power cord, and waiting an hour (to reset EC controller? (read that somewhere) )
- Uninstalling the "PS/2 Keyboard" entry from Device Manager.
- Rebooting many times.
- Booting into Safe Mode (keyboard does not work even in Safe Mode)

I haven't installed anything recently, but I did just discover that the keyboard (but not the touchpad) will work after waking the machine from sleep. I usually put the machine to sleep when I'm through with it instead of restarting it, so it could have been something I installed a while ago.
I have done multiple virus scans, both with Norton and Malwarebytes, so I don't think it's malware.
I just can't figure out what kind of software could make something as basic as a keyboard stop working.

Keyboard and Mousepad does not work after installing windows support software.

I was able to successfully install windows 8.1 64bit on an late 2012 iMac. I went through the installation just fine with the mousepad and keyboard. I went into the desktop and open up the files and went to computer to download the windows support software. After it was done installing the windows support software, my mouse and my keyboard stopped working completely. I couldn't even click "finish" on the download. I turned the computer off by pressing the power button, then turned it back on. I held the option key and the Macintosh HD and Windows showed up. I turned the mousepad and keyboard back on and it was working again. So I clicked on Windows and as I enter the startup screen, the mouse and keyboard stopped working again.
Computer: iMac 21.5 in. late 2012
Used Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
The keyboard and mousepad that I have is bluetooth.

Fn+F5 function and touchpad doesn't work correctly on Satellite A series

Hi
I just setup a windows Vista & I install the driver after download it from the net but i found that;
1- the switch between the screen & s-video (fn + f5) doesn't work but the other function (fn) work
2- when i put my finger in the right of the mouse pad it must scroll the screen & in the bottom of the pad it must scroll left & right the screen but it didn't work
So plz tell me the solution if it is a program or driver issue.
Plz give me the direct link

Hi
What notebook do you have?
I presume your notebook was delivered with XP and now you want to use it with Vista OS.
Please note that you need to install the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package to use all the notebook features.
Very important is the Components Common Driver and the TOSHIBA Flash Cards.
The Flashcards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function.
Please reinstall it!
The additional touchpad functionality must be configured firstly!
This can be done in control panel -> mouse
There you should look for the touchpad settings and could configure the touchpad scroll areas again.
Bye

USB Mouse / Keyboard doesn't work after resuming from hibernate

I am using a USB device that splits out to 2 PS2 ports, one for a mouse, one for a keyboard. It works great, but when I put my X61 into hibernate, the mouse and keyboard do not work when I resume from hibernate.
I installed all the relevant patches and power manager drivers from the driver downloads page, but my mouse still doesn't work.
Can someone point me to the correct download or shed some light on this?
Thank you!

I have this same problem with this same device. It is a "composite USB device".
What I've notice is that the problem happens mostly with USB 1.1 ports. When the device is connected to a USB 2.0 port the problem doesn't happen always.
It depends on the computer though. I added a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adaptor to my laptop that has USB 1.1 only. And when I connect the USB-to-PS/2 cable to the USB 2.0 my mouse sometimes work after suspend/hibernate but sometimes doesn't.
However, on my other desktop computer, which has integrated USB 2.0 ports, this problem has never happened (I haven't tested it exhaustively though).
This is a Windows bug of course. Everything related to USB 1.1 support is buggy in Windows. One more example is the annoying (and possibly catastrophic) "Delayed write error" that appears when you use a external hard drive plugged to a USB 1.1 port.
I guess M$ is focusing their efforts on making USB 2.0 to work well and they have forgotten about USB 1.1. Or it could a problem related to "USB composite devices", hard to know.
