Keyboard not working during installation.

chetWS

Hello,

I've been trying to install GhostBSD on my desktop. During installation, the keyboard behaves funny. When I click on a button with the mouse, it works. When I click on a prompt to type something, the keyboard will not type.

The funny thing is, the icon on the desktop will accept input from the keyboard. But no matter how many times I click the prompt, it will not let me type. I've included a screenshot to illustrate what's happening. Sorry that it's sideways.

I've tried both a USB and ps/2 keyboard. Legacy USB is enabled in the bios. Any ideas?

I just realized that I might be using a non-standard iso? I'm using the XLibre iso found here:

https://ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/stable-14/job/Verify%20The%20XLibre%20ISO%20Build%20With%20Testing%20Packages/

Perhaps that's the problem? I'll give the regular release a try.

XLibre is "experimental" in GhostBSD for the time being. Use the standard MATE or Xfce iso

Thanks for the reply. Standard Mate is good to go 👍
