Keyboard stopped working after I played around in the controller config in RTGUI.

Noiden

First I want to thank for a very nice dist/script. =)

Controller: iPega PG-9025 (Wireless Bluetooth)
Keyboard: Logitech K400 (Wireless USB-dongle)

I had problems to get my Ipega Bluetooth controller to work correct in Retroarch, so I played around a bit in the input settings.

I managed to bind the ipega keys to "player 2", but when I start a game the buttons on the ipega does not work, the d-pad did work tough. (Should I start another thread for this error?)

Well, anyway, after that I needed to do some stuff in the terminal and then my keyboard didn't work, didn't get any input, the only thing that happen when I pressed buttons was that the "underscore marker" in the terminal flickered a bit.

So I did a reboot via SSH, but same error on the keyboard.

Here are the things from dmesg

I can't help with the keyboard issue, but I think I can help with the ipega...

I was getting this very same problem with an ipega bluetooth controller. I solved this way (I'm assuming you are comfortable with linux commands and know how to edit retroarch.cfg-like files):

configure your problematic bluetooth controller to be the player2 (input_player2_joypad_index).
configure a working joystick as player1 (input_player1_joypad_index).
launch any game with RetroArch.
invoke RGUI (Select+X on player1 joystick).
go to Settings -> Input-> Input User 2 Binds
configure the buttons as you like (hey look!! the buttons are working!!! :D )
go back to the RGUI Main Menu.
select Save New Config. PAY ATENTION AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN AND MEMORIZE THE FILENAME SHOWED THERE!
go to the shell prompt
open the file saved on step 8 (you memorized the filename, right?)
write down the numbers after every input_player2_BUTTON-NAME_btn (substitute BUTTON-NAME with: a, b, y, x, l, r, start, select, l2, r2).
open the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/CONTROLLER-NAME.cfg (substitute CONTROLLER-NAME with the obvious).
put the numbers you wrote after their respective input_BUTTON-NAME_btn (note that there aren't that playerN string here).
save this file.
start a game to test it.
come back here to this post and let me know if it worked for you too! :D

@Noiden

Should I start another thread for this error?

Maybe it's better to edit the title of this thread and use some tags. My suggestions:
keyboard, input, RGUI, retroarch, ipega

Thanks,

It's working now. I uninstalled retropie and installed it again and reconfigured the controllers from RTGUI and then did the "Bind"-thing to get the controls right for the "Core" NES.

The keyboard is working as it should at this moment to, don't know what that was for weird error.

Thanks. =)
