Hi!
I've just installed LMDE on my laptop. After install everything goes ok, and I update. I turn off my laptop and when I see the login screen, I can't use the keyboard or mouse :S
Anyone with the same problem? What could happen?
Thanks

Re: Keyboard and mouse stop working after update
That could be a udev error. To fix it boot the recovery mode and run:
You should have a working system now. Open the terminal and run:
If you get something like this:
delete all the udev links from rc0 - rc6. Don't touch rcS.d, it's needed like it is.
Code: Select all
telinit 5
Code: Select all
ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*udev*
Code: Select all
# ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*udev*

Re: Keyboard and mouse stop working after update
Thanks Gerd50 but the only udev and udev-mtab in /etc/rc*.d are in rcS.d.
Anyway I've noticed it's a bug in udev 171, when I plug in a keyboard it works well, udev doesn't add ID_INPUT tag to the device so Xorg can't detect which kind of device it is.
I'm blacklisting evdev module and loading it again in a while, just before X server start and it works well.
But that's just a workaround, I must update udev asap.
