Pi Newbie - Keyboard stops working in Command-Line

[melloj]

Hello,

First time poster and a Raspberry Pi owners as of two days ago.

I am having the same problem as the person did in the topic below.

I have just set up my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with the newest version of Retropie from the website. Basically, if I run the n64 emulator and potentially the ScummVM emulator and then hit F4 to go to the command line, my keyboard appears to stop responding except for the creating a "£" and the other character mentioned in the post linked below.

Reading through the post below, it does not seem that there was ever any resolution, but given it is 2 years old, I thought maybe someone would have some new ideas?

Thanks!

@melloj Did you try the workaround suggested in the old topic - typing reset + Enter in blind to see if the input is echoed again ?

@mitu Indeed - nothing seemed to happen. However I did already have a bunch of funky characters in the command line prompt, so perhaps those prevented the "reset" command from working.

This is the second time it's happened to me in the last two days, so I will try to type in "reset" on a clean command line prompt the next time it occurs (although it didn't seem to work for the previous poster and his issue is a carbon copy of mine).
