Note that edits to /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules will be overwritten on the next upgrade to whatever package generates that file. The solution to that problem is to copy the file 97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and edit it there. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

It looks as though you have two choices. Either: . Boot with the installation flash drive, where the kbd/mouse work, and use it as your rescue system to effect the repair as outlined in the reference above. Or: . Boot with the installation flash drive and repeat the installation. Before it terminates, effect the repair as outlined above, but with one important change: Repair the file /target/lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules rather than the file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules because /target is where your new installation is being built. "Before it terminates"—when is a good time? With expert non-graphical installation, there are several opportunities: - Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk - Finish the installation (clock setting) - Finish the installation (remove installation media) There may be fewer occasions when using non-expert/other methods. At the chosen opportune time, type Alt-F2 and press Return to get a shell. Effect the repair. Type Alt-F1 (or Alt-←) to return to the installation screen. Cheers, David.

Please reply to the list so that others can see and possibly benefit from the exchange. Try booting to an old Linux. If you don't have one handy, finnix (command line only) does an excellent job for this sort of thing. Knoppix (GUI) should also. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

If the problem occurs in multiple distributions, I would suspect a kernel, udev, or driver issue. First question, what exactly is the USB id? Please plug it in to a Linux computer, and copy and paste the results of: lsusb | grep 046d which you will have to run as root. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
