Keyboard not working while entering wifi password RPi3 2.1 RC5

[masid101]

Which version of Lakka are you using? 2.1 RC5 (http://static.kivutar.me/Lakka-RPi2.arm-2.1-rc5.img.gz) What system hardware are you using? RPi3 What did you do? Try to enter wifi password using keyboard What did you expect to happen? Letters on the screen What happened instead? Nothing

Using the virtual keyboard with the controller works!

I confirm this bug

Still not working with 2.1 stable release! As this is a very annoying and even milestoned bug, I don't really get it to release a stable without this being fixed!

Just installed lakka in my cubox-i4 and can't believe this is happening. Please fix ASAP! If you need some extra info please let me know. Thanks!

I didn't want to block the release for a keyboard bug that affects only arm boards where the vast majority of our users are using joypad only.

This, combined to other factors like the fact that it was convenient for me to release 2.1 before my new job starts. It was either this, either 2.1 would still not be available.

@Ntemis pushed a potential fix for this. I'm going to test it as soon as I can. The 2.1 branch is going to get stability updates.

[kivutar]

@Ntemis the change doesn't fix the keyboard issue.

[Ntemis]

Sad to hear @Kivutar will revert it. Thanks for the test

[kivutar]

I think it is due to this line https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/input/drivers/udev_input.c#L75

[kivutar]

Ok, this image have a fix, I'd like someone to try it please http://static.kivutar.me/unstable/Lakka-RPi2.arm-2.1-devel-20171222232758-r28013-g9f419ef.img.gz

[masid101]

Sorry, but this fix have no effect here!

[kivutar]

Yeah :( it was not that...

[masid101]

We already had a version where it was working. It was 2.0 or one of the RCs of 2.1. Can't remember the exact one. Just if this info is of any help ...!

[masid101]

I did some research. It worked in 2.1 RC4.

[ToKe79]

HI, can someone please test this RPi2 build: http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/RPi2-kbd-fix-WIP/ Thank you!

[masid101]

Sorry, but no effect here!

[ToKe79]

Thank you for testing. If anybody can test this image - unfortunately I have no RPi: http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/RPi2-kbd-fix-WIP/02_second-try_RC4+retroarch_from_RC5+other_changes/ It is based on RC4, but updated RetroArch (as in RC5) + other minor changes in libretro packages (mostly updated version due to build failing). Changes on top of RC4: https://gist.github.com/ToKe79/56aaf0b99b7efa8195eb1414f4e01544

[ToKe79]

And also an image with patched retroarch: http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/RPi2-kbd-fix-WIP/03_third-try_as_second_try+patched_RA/

[kivutar]

Thanks @ToKe79 I tried your latest image, it still doesn't work.

[ToKe79]

So back to square 1 - plain RC4 (with only updated melonds, assets, sameboy to fix building) to confirm that I am at the correct commit, that was working. http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/RPi2-kbd-fix-WIP/04_fourth-try_plain_RC4/ Thank you for testing.

[ToKe79]

I made another test build for RPi2: http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/RPi2-kbd-fix-WIP/05_CurrentLakka_RetroArch_882fe09/ This time I only reverted retroarch package to the state as of RC4 and the rest of the image is current Lakka-2.1-dev branch (https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/commit/07b402ca29ce2c32d5df2ef20803f3aacf595a49). If this works I will try to find specific commit that broke it (https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/compare/882fe09...28397b3). Compiled from https://github.com/ToKe79/Lakka-LibreELEC/commit/76198d729f2f189d1e4a22cc570cba5639cdbc94

[masid101]

This one works here on RPi3.

[ToKe79]

Thank you, I just confirmed same (works) also on S905. Please, stay tuned.

Lakka-RPi.arm-2.1-devel-r28180-g31ef195 and Pi Zero W: works

[Mutuduxf]

Lakka-RPi.arm-2.1.img and Pi Zero W: still can't input the wifi password

[ToKe79]

@Mutuduxf please use devel build from http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv

[Shadow322]

@ToKe79 i dont see a raspi3 build at that link?

[ToKe79]

Hi @Shadow322 raspi3 = RPi2.arm There is no "rpi3 optimized build", as there is no significant performance difference.

[Shadow322]

oh ok ill stick with the better program called Retropie then thanks

[starquake]

@Shadow322 If you think it fits your needs better then you should definitely switch. I hope you will be more friendly towards the retropie developers though.

[masid101]

Is there any bugfix release like 2.1.1 on the horizon?
