Keyboard not working in ubuntu headless
-
Hi all,
I have been trying to repurpose an old laptop into a retrobox. The machine is running ubuntu server 64 with nodm.Hardware: x86 PC
OS: Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 x64
RetroPie Version: 4.2.1
Built From: Retropie-Setup script basic install
USB Devices connected: none
Controller used: noneI installed nodm and set it as the default display manager with
dpkg-reconfigure nodm
. Then I created~/.xsession
withemulationstation
as the only line in the file. ES runs on startup and the GUI shows up correctly but it doesn't receive any input from keyboard.Any ideas what could be the issue?

One thing I have tried is to enable background input in es_settings.cfg according to this post. https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/291
That still doesn't fix the issue for me.

Cheers,
JP.
