Hello, recently my keyboard started to type “=” sign randomly. It’s hard for me to log in. I have to type my password really fast otherwise it gets filled with “=”.
I don’t want to replace it because i don’t even use it, i prefer usb keyboard. But i can’t find a way to disable it before login screen. I found a way to disable it after i log in tho, i use xinput command:
xinput float $(xinput list ‘AT Translated Set 2 keyboard’|grep id=|cut -f 2|cut -f 2 -d =)
I put it in /etc/profile.
Is there a way to make execute this command on boot, so i can login without any issues ? I’m willing to disable laptop keyboard permanently if anyone knows how to do it.
I use lightdm display manager, I already tried putting this command in:
/etc/lightdm/Xsession
/etc/profile
And probably many others that i just don’t remember, since ideal with this keyboard for quite some time. Thanks to anyone answering
You can try to add in your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line the i8042.nokbd boot parameter. Something like that: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet loglevel=3 i8042.nokbd”
I have done it in a deb-based distro.
It would be nice if you posted what exactly you have used (which file/path what content).
The link does not have a unique answer, and it’s always better to keep those solutions locally (in this forum).
