Arch Keyboard Fix

Fix for keyboard not working after suspend in Arch Linux and Arch-based distros

Instructions

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/TheDragonary/Arch-Keyboard-Fix.git && cd Arch-Keyboard-Fix

and run

./arch-keyboard-fix.sh

WARNING: note that the current working directory must be the directory where arch-keyboard-fix.sh and the other files are located.

Or you can execute all commands at once:

git clone https://github.com/TheDragonary/Arch-Keyboard-Fix.git && cd Arch-Keyboard-Fix && ./arch-keyboard-fix.sh && cd && rm -rf ~/Arch-Keyboard-Fix

How it works

The fix involves three files:

• arch-keyboard-fix.sh is the installation script. It copies reset-input-devices-after-sleep.service and reset-input-devices.sh where they belong.
• reset-input-devices-after-sleep.service is a systemd service file. It executes reset-input-devices.sh after every suspend/hibernate.
• reset-input-devices.sh resets
  • the atkbd Linux kernel which is responsible for the built-in keyboard of laptops.
  • all USB human interface devices.
