You don't provide much useful information. Saying "PS/2" keyboard says next to nothing. How about brand/model????
Do you have that port enabled in BIOS?
DO NOT USE KALI....said by myself and others, but you seem to ignore getting that advice
We don't like to have to keep asking over and over for relevant details. We're happy to try to help, but at some point we all get very frustrated when you don't provide details after getting asked repeatedly, and won't even acknowledge getting told things.[/QUOT

Here the keyboard and touch pad is fine on bios and post, it doesn't happen always but sometimes I may try 10 bootups and neither keyboard or touchpad work. For me the workaround is boot without battery. I have that issue since I got my laptop but as it's a matter of boot without battery I never cared much.

Only took 4 times of sending it a different way.That link will get you the www http drops down when you paste it to search bar if it does open,but it will open.
Later guys chat to yeah in another 4 years I was born in a leap year. :-)
your links are far from helpful just a waste of battery power & everytime you answer a question you learn something or refresh what you already know and none of yeah answered it for 4 years.
The only stupid question is
An unanswered 1 btw
"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."and thats not John wayne
And the moderated choose not to post my answer because I said p*s* or he didnt like sharing the answer ask him
Sorry, no...your answer wasn't edited by the moderator, because it would show "edited by moderator" beneath it.

Which does nothing for the OP, since they wouldn't answer any questions and said specifically that it was in ANY version of Linux...it was an old PS/2 keyboard. They even specifically said it works fine with a USB keyboard. They never said anything about the punctuation you mentioned (" ' & # @), so not sure where you even get that from.

And the question was answered...several times, but you apparently don't see/understand that. The OP even marked the thread solved. Again: you re-opened a thread that had been closed for FOUR YEARS, only to post "EASYYYYYYY" as some sort of 'solution'.
Moderated posts can take at least 24 hours to be evaluated for approval.
Since you've successfully posted your technical feedback and also those moderated contain personal attacks along with profanities they've been deleted.
Please be cognizant of forum rules moving forwards.
