anyway bigger problems, why isn't this thing accepting any inputs from my mouse or keyboard after I select the option to install Hannah Montana linux. it does keyboard inputs from this exact keyboard in other sections why not here
I thought it may also be because I had a wireless mouse, but I've grabbed a spare wired one and it still doesn't work, and that also doesn't explain why my wired keyboard that works perfectly fine before I tell it to install or try without installing them just fucking, stops
I've been searching the internet for people with similar problems, I say to google "kubuntu no input during installation" (because obviously Hannah Montana linux won't help there I have to go from what its based off) google says "here, no audio output well after installation has finished" I say, "no, kubuntu keyboard stops working during installation" google says "here, keyboard and mouse problems during login :)" I say "no, kubuntu wired keyboard stops working during install" google finally says "here, maybe 3 things that are actually relevant to what you wanted and they don't help anyway"
I found literally ONE on the actual kubuntu fourms well under mint and whatever the fuck zorin is, and the only info I could glean from that is "enable legacy USB support" which I already have enabled
if I had an older keyboard then maybe it seems to be a possible solution, well technically I have one from like the 80s, but the problem with that is that I don't have the converters I would need to actually use it, which is something I've wanted for quite a time sooooooo
I've got the distinct feeling as if I might be truly stuck here, I've felt like I was low on solutions occasionally previously. but never like truly stuck. I always had the option of " oh well maybe that laptop is a bit too slow to do it" or "the disk I was using was a bit damaged so what if I use another" or "well when I try to do it via a flash drive it does mention SOMETHING to do with a cd so what if it needs to be installed via disk" I mean maybe I can find an older keyboard around here somewhere or something, maybe an older mouse, I'm not entirely sure what I can do
I will probably be able to search better if I'm on an actual computer rather than just my phone, but once I put my PC back together I should probably stop for tonight
