I want to install garuda on my new laptop but my keyboard doesn't work properly on this system.
After selecting language and location, the keyboard is a big problem. I tried all the keyboard modes Calamares provided, and none of them worked. Of course, I could use a USB external keyboard, but I'd like a laptop keyboard to work.
I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a keyboard driver, or how I can add my keyboard mode.With AIDA64,I got my laptop keyboard mode:Japanese Keyboard.How to add it?
Please follow the template and post the
garuda-inxi
as text. Try copy and paste if keyboard failed.
Maybe you must use for install English layout and try later to change the language?

I'm not sure I understand the problem, that looks like an English keyboard to me.
Are you looking for an input method to type Japanese on that keyboard?

This is not a keyboard layout problem, but a lower level. If there is no gui installed, I can't even do anything. I press any key, and the computer does not respond.With the help of the mouse, I can operate in the live.

This is the keyboard model,and I tried everyone of them,my laptop keyboard didnt work.(it works fine on win11).AIDA64 show the Keyboard Model is Japanese keyboard,as much as I'm confused, is there any way to add it.I type garuda-inxi with USB keyboard
A quick search online suggests that this model has a good amount of compatibility problems, I hope to find a solution somewhere.
@sgs is xinput in the KDE live?
I think xinput -list would be helpful here... if there's a way to even type that.

Well there's three USB Keyboard, to be honest I don't know what that means.
I'd guess one is the virtual keybaord, one the external, and perhaps one is the laptop one.
Try also sudo lshw -businfo -sanitize and lsusb -tvv -- again, I don't know if those commands are available in the live, someone please suggest what to do if not.
lshw dont in the Kde live, wait some minutes,Find the solution after I install the system.
