I'm using a 2015 MacBook pro and have had no issues whatsoever before using an external mouse and keyboard. However, as soon as I connect a mouse and keyboard, the issues begin.
During the session, there are no problems; however, upon reboot into persistence from the boot menu, no mouse, hardware or external or bluetooth or otherwise, function properly.
If "live" or any other mode is selected from the boot menu, there are no problems. Additionally, "persistence" is accessible from these boot modes so I'm able to edit (as far as I can see) the files used in persistence.
Please advise on how to continue to resolve this problem. I have reflashed the drive 10 times to replicate this problem and I'm sure this is the problem.
I have installed persistence straightforward like this:
mkdir -p /mnt/KALI mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt/KALI echo "/ union" > /mnt/KALI/persistence.conf umount /mnt/KALII'm pretty sure the problem only occurs after using an external mouse and keyboard; however it doesn't matter if I reboot with them plugged in or not.
EDIT1:
- Laptop: MacbookPro petin 13" early 2015
- Keyboard: A1243
- Mouse: M/N:N910U
- USB: PNY16GB
- Kali: 2018.1-amd64.iso
I've been having the recent problem of my keyboard/mouse, hardware or external, not functioning whatsoever after entering persistence mode in Kali.
The steps taken to reproduce the issue are simple.
with or without keyboard/mouse plugged in:
- apt-get update
- reboot -h now
normal functionality
with keyboard/mouse plugged in, or even after unplugging keyboard/mouse before executing reboot:
- apt-get upgrade
- reboot -h now
unable to use either hardware trackpad/keyboard or external mouse/keyboard
Which logs can I grab off of the persistence partition to post here?I'm at a loss of what could be causing this.
