No mouse no keyboard working on new LMDE install


I am trying to install LDME 2 Cinnamon on a Lenovo M910s with an AOC monitor and I do not have a mouse or a keyboard working.
I ma told thatI am Running in software rendering mode.
Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware accelaration and,as a result, you may observe much higher than normal CPU usage.

There could be a problem with drivers or some other issue...

NO KIDDING! What do I do to coreect this issue? I can't even tell the machine to install LMDE 2.
Well the mouse worked for a bit, but then stopped.
What to do?

Question

Hi.

Everything I've searched along your lines says LDME 2 is 2018, as opposed to 4?
So.
What Mint you running and where,,, VM?

E.g: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to...-command-line/
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-check-linux-version/
&see...

never too much info!

Add; i.e: me, now,,, Cyanogenmod.

Thumbs up

Does your source list file have non free drivers set?
I think Mint is just *buntu, which is Debian. https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/p...rsonal-systems Shows support for 16.4 but that's just Lenovo, GNU\Linux and we may support it long after us...

I whouldn't go with anything not supporting current-security-updates!

I usually install cutting edge on all my "old junk" —that doesn't waste power.

Have you tested those USB ports with other devices*?

Add: I forgot to make clear, e.g., "software rendering mode," are you running it in a virtual machine or on bare metal?
