Hello there,
On my fresh Slimbook (Evo 14 AMD Ryzen AI9 365
with EndeavourOS), I encounter a problem when I close the lid. After
closing it, everything shows and run like normal except that my keyboard
seems not to respond at all.
I can be fixed either by hard
reboot the laptop or closing / opening the lid multiples times. I would
say that 80% of the time the keyboard got "deactivated". This is
annoying and I have no clue where to begin to debug this.
Does
anyone encountered this same behavior ? I don't know how to check if
it's a hardware or software issue even if reason would say it should be a
OS configuration problem. But my install is very new and I haven't mess
anything yet. Actually running GNOME X11 because I got weird artifacts
on both Wayland (KDE and GNOME). Haven't noticed this bug on Wayland,
but could be.
Thanks !

Good afternoon, mxmeunier
This behaviour gets fixed by installing one of our packages `slimbook-quirk-i8042-reset`, this packages installs a patch to reset the keyboard after coming from suspend
You can install it with our repositories in your system, I will link you a tutorial on how to add them https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/add-the-slimbook-repositories-on-linux-71
Also, I will link you which packages are necessary for your device to work properly, you can find which here: https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/software-and-drivers-evo-meta-package-495
The necessary packages are installed to provide stability both in X11 and Wayland, as well as hardware quirks that the device needs to fix suspend issues
Regards,
Do you recommend installing every package from your repository or are they more relevant for the slimbook OS ?
Hello, mxmeunier
Not all from the repository, as some of them are specific for some devices (the meta ones specifically)
The only package/s that you should have are `slimbook-meta-evo` and its dependencies (which include `slimbook-quirk-i8042-reset`)
In the link I sent lists all the packages if you want to know which packages include `slimbook-meta-evo`, but installing `slimbook-meta-evo` is enough
