My laptop (MSI Bravo 17) keyboard doesn't work with kernel 6.0.26 but works with 6.5.7. However, I need 6.0 because 6.5 is not supported by CUDA. Is there any way to fix this?

Possible solutions applied:

  • updating drivers
  • disabling slow keys

  • Those aren't standard kernels, which Ubuntu release are you running? CUDA should not depend upon kernel (or video driver). Get your system video running, then install CUDA from the .run script, rejecting any video driver offer and override the system bin/lib install locations to be the cuda/bin,lib. See 1219761 and 1077061 answers here. – ubfan1 Nov 12 '23 at 17:45
  • That's the weird thing. My keyboard doesn't work on the default kernel and the officially updated kernel when I installed Ubuntu. And from the Nvidia documentation the support kernel for CUDA is 6.0.26. But my keyboard doesn't work in that kernel – Baraa Zaid Nov 13 '23 at 19:39
  • having the exact same issue. Laptop Keyboard does not work even in live USB mode that is used for installing ubuntu. Using kernel 6.2.0-37-generic which is default kernel. External USB keyboard works. My laptop is MSI Bravo 17. Seems to be a general MSI Bravo Laptops issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1482100/laptop-keyboard-not-working-on-msi-bravo-15-b7e – aloha Dec 04 '23 at 07:47
  • Yes MSI has horrible Linux support. But with WSL it fully works and u get fan control while running Linux – Baraa Zaid Dec 05 '23 at 08:53

From grub menu boot into kernel 6.0.26. in recovery mode, from root shell try:

apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all

this will install required drivers for your keyboard.

  • I tried that normally and it didn't work. In recovery I can't use my keyboard in the menu – Baraa Zaid Nov 14 '23 at 22:36
  • this advise does not work. Normally in grub menu, the laptop keyboard works. But when in recovery and logged into root, the laptop keyboard stopped working. Ran the above command from root using external usb keyboard, and it did nothing as it was already at latest drivers. – aloha Dec 04 '23 at 07:50
