Keyboard mapping all wrong
#1
Hey all,

Using a Pi 3 model B with another user account added to the same groups as the original pi user.

My keyboard, whether I use a USB keyboard or a wireless one that has a little dongle thing, doesn't work properly when inside Kodi.

Both keyboards are fine when in Raspbian - but as soon as I launch Kodi, whether it's via normal mode or via the kodi-standalone execute, I can't use my keyboard to type searches in Kodi.
The S key for example opens the shutdown menu.

I've tried various solutions including adding a chmod 0770 /dev/tty0 line to /etc/init.d/rc.local file.

Nothing I've tried has helped.

Does anyone have any solutions? Is it a bad install that needs to be uninstalled and re-installed or is it a permissions thing elsewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Hunt

Sorry I spoke to soon.
I found on another forum these instructions:

sudo usermod -aG tty $username
sudo su -c 'echo "KERNEL==\"tty[0-9]*\", GROUP=\"tty\", MODE=\"0660\"" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules'

They worked! YAY
