Keyboard doesn't work off a cold boot. (ASUS ZenBook UX325SA_UM325SA 1.0)

bougi · September 7, 2022, 7:26pm

Recently jumped to this distro after my Arch got blown up by the grub update and the inbuilt keyboard of my notebook doesnt work off a cold boot. If I reboot, it works perfectly, however, I need the keyboard to decrypt the disk and can only do so if I plug in a USB one.

I had the same issue on Arch and it was fixed with some tinkering with the mkinitcpio config file.

Now, from what little I understand, mkinitcpio is an Arch specific tool, and cannot be used for this scenario. What research I did pointed me to dracut, which I would somehow need to tinker with to force it to load the proper modules. I get that there is space for a user config file in /etc/ and I tried to add the line:

force_drivers+="amdgpu asus_wmi atkbd dm_crypt ext4 fat i2c_hid i8042 ohci_pci xhci_pci"

as it was in the mkinitcpio, as a hail mary, and ofcourse it didn’t work, but it was my best guess.

Anyone have any advice on what I would need to tweak to make my keyboard work off a cold boot? Or to be more specific, if it’s possible to translate the solution I linked for Arch into this environment.

This is a repost of one I made almost a month ago. I’ll try again, since I really enjoy this distro and I don’t want to jump to another one.

dracut modules are certainly not the same as mkinitpio hooks. Especially across distros.

You can see what modules are available in /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d

grumpey · October 5, 2022, 12:11am

did you add that to something like /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-asuskeyboard.conf ?

after adding that did you rebuild the initramfs?
sudo dracut -f --kver $(uname -r)

That should just rebuild for the currently loaded kernel. If it does work, you’ll want to rebuild all of them with sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all

bougi · October 5, 2022, 6:22pm

I did add them to a file in /dracut.conf.d/ but i just named it myflags.conf. I however, did not run the commands you posted. It doesn’t work unfortunately after trying.

bougi · October 5, 2022, 6:23pm

would it help to post a list of them here? the list isnt masive per se, but i’m still lost since its my first time doing this

Does your keyboard work in a live environment (with Fedora, openSUSE, NixOS or a similar Distro?

bougi · October 5, 2022, 9:39pm

Yes, on Arch it worked and here it worked. But on a cold boot with both distros it didnt.

grumpey · October 5, 2022, 11:39pm

can you post:
From a cold boot with it not working
lsmod | sort
sudo libinput list-devices

After a reboot with it working
lsmod | sort
sudo libinput list-devices

Basically looking for the difference between the drivers and input devices with it not working and working.
thanks

ok, so first we have the output off a cold boot:

Can you try booting with i8042.probe_defer as a kernel argument?

Thanks

Ran it, and it works off cold boot now. Verified it after multiple boots. Mind explaining what this kernel argument does? If memory serves, when I was troubleshooting the same issue on Arch, I think I tried this, and it didn’t work there.

When the deferred probe mode is
enabled and the device couldn’t be probed, it’ll be repeated with the
standard deferred probe mechanism.
