Porteus

Hi,

I'm trying out Porteus 3.2.2 on a USB stick.

Starting up works fine, entering the kde gui. But neither the keyboard nor the mousepad works

Hardware: Asus E200H Notebook PC.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Axel

Welcome to Porteus. Someone with a notebook will surely come along to help you.

Thanks! Hope so. Somebody should have had this issue...

According to this thread that might relate to a kernel issue:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/753964/ ... sus-e200ha

You might try a more recent kernel, here's 4.10.8 (compiled by neko and provided by ncmprhnsbl)
000-kernel-4.10.8.xzm 45.8mb
vmlinuz 3.2mb

There is also brokenman's kernel update.

http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/kernel/porteus-4.9.12/

vmlinux -> /boot/syslinux
000-kernel.xzm -> /porteus/base

Have you by any chance tried to update the kernel but not updated 000-kernel.xzm module with it?

This also happens when trying new Xorg with old DE's, like it was described here: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=6691

Thanks for the suggestions. The newer kernel 4.10 had no effect though (the new xorg just didn't start). Will do some more searching...

alexoi, try this stable kernel with kernel-firmwares for x86_64 architecture by brokenman http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/kernel/porteus-4.10.8/
Download vmlinuz (from here) and copy to /boot/syslinux
Download 000-kernel.xzm (from here) and copy to /porteus/base

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know my findings on this.

Unfortunately it seems the hardware in the Asus Vivobooks is not supported by Linux
