Keyboard does not work properly in tty

Hello. When I am switching to tty (for example Ctrl+Alt+F1) I need to write my login. But I can't write any letters. All I can write is numbers.
What is the problem? My distro is Debian Sid (bullseye).

Is it always this way?
Did you spill something on your keyboard?
Do you have a stuck key?
Do you have access to another keyboard to try?
Does plugging the USB keyboard into a different USB port change anything?
Does a powerdown reboot fix it?
Did you only just finish installing Bullseye?
Did you only just finish upgrading to Bullseye?

I am using Linux for 2 years but this happened to me for the first time.
This distribution I installed to laptop Dell Latitude D620 at Feb 1 and I have not been in tty mode until today. Also I installed a patch that fixes xorg 865 bug using the script I have found on github. The script itself:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



rm -rf build

mkdir -p build

cd build



sudo apt install devscripts -y

sudo mk-build-deps -t'apt-get -y' -ir xserver-xorg-core



apt source xserver-xorg-core

SRC_DIR=`ls | cut -f1 | head -n1`



#https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865

#wget -O ../xkb_switch_on_release.patch https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=129861

patch ${SRC_DIR}/xkb/xkbActions.c < ../xkb_switch_on_release.patch || exit 1



pushd ${SRC_DIR}

dch -n ''

debuild -us -uc

popd



sudo apt purge xorg-server-build-deps devscripts --auto-remove -y



sudo dpkg -i xserver-common_*.deb

sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_*.deb

rm -rf ../build

Has it stayed fixed since the powerdown reboot?

Wait, what? What did I write? Now answers are good.
It's weird, but I have just entered to tty mode and it works, but if I want to return back, I need to press Ctrl+Super+F7 instead of Ctrl+Alt+F7. If I will change a keyboard model in xfce settings, the changes also apply to a tty. For example, the key '/' does not work with "Dell Latitude" model in xfce settings but if I'll set the model to 102 keys keyboard, it works.

I think that something related to keyboard layout.
