Keyboard stopped working -- big problem

[drh]

Did you try updating ? , cause for Arch , the current release has a broken onscreen keyboard and it's already fixed upstream but he hasn't made a new image yet , but a simple "sudo pacman -Syu" would fixed it

Thanks for replying. It is possible to check for updates via the Discovery application. There is no new updates. System is up to date; however will keep checking for new updates daily.

Note: It is not possible to check for updates via command because there is no onscreen keyboard, not even an Enter key.

Received update this morning and this issue is fixed on my PPP running the stock os with kde/plasma.

You can't do a  " sudo pacman -Syu" with no keyboard available

I found no solution to no keyboard so I went back to a dev version of plasma-manjaro-pinephone pro and I am running from the sd card.  Perhaps that has the update to fix the keyboard issue as discussed above but phone including keyboard is running again.  Lost all the setup I had done on eMMC version though.

Version running ok including keyboard is:  manjaro-arm-plasma-mobile-dev-pinephonepro-202220201.img.xz

I was able to fix the keyboard issue by connecting a bluetooth keyboard that I have. So if you have one lying around, just connect it, then open up a terminal and type

Code:

sudo pacman -Suy

There was just one single package available when I did that today and it has fixed my onscreen keyboard. You could probably do the same when you have the pinephone keyboard accessory case.

I hope this helps.
