Ubuntu Server Keyboard And Mouse Not Working

  1. Mac Keyboard And Mouse

I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2017, 13', no Touch Bar) and I want to create Linux live USB. However, keyboard and trackpad are not working when I'm booting Linux OS from live USB. I'm able to select EFI boot, proceed to selection how I want to boot my Linux system but as soon as OS is loaded - trackpad and keyboard don't respond. I tried Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18.03.

Did anyone succeeded to boot Linux OS from a machine similar to mine? How can I create workable Linux (preferably Ubuntu) live USB on my MacBook?

Ubuntu does not natively support MacBook Pro Mid-2017 yet, so you have to manually install some drivers and patches to get it fully working. During the process, you will need a usb mouse. Also if you don’t have a usb keyboard, you can use on-screen keyboard (which is what I did). Then you have to follow this tutorial: Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 and later

Yes you can. Just use a USB mouse and go over to the Bluetooth section under Ubuntu and you will see the mouse appear. You just have to connect it and turn the keyboard on and off via the switch and then press enter several times and you'll see that Bluetooth will find it again. You can then click and connect to it.

A possible solution to help is to disable the ACPI option (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html) by adding acpi=off to the kernel boot options.

Download the latest driver, firmware, and software for your HP LaserJet 1010 Printer series.This is HP's official website to download drivers free of cost for your HP Computing and Printing products for Windows and Mac operating system. Free download HP LaserJet 1010 Printer Drivers latest version 2019 for windows 10, 8, 8.1 and 7 Setup for PC & Laptop 64 bit, 32 bit. Driver installation package for HP LaserJet 1010 Printer. Hp laserjet 1010 driver for windows 10.

Touchpad would work after that but since ACPI is used for hardware acceleration you will probably experience some higher CPU usage.
