Can you go to a tty if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2? Just trying to see if your keyboard is working. If your keyboard is working and not your mouse, you could just have a mouse problem.
Hello Andyprough, thank you very much for your answer. I have tried this now but it still doesn t work. So probably i have to reinstall the system? The tip is valuable to me for future similar problems and so thanks again. gratefully greetings!
Hello again you are great!!! I now realized that i can write, then used an external mouse and it works! Thank you so much!
Do you think it is a Hardware problem vor can it also be triggered by Software issues?
So n
Laptops keyboards often have a function key that locks the touchpad. If you pressed it by mistake you can press it again to unlock the touchpad. You will also find the option to activate or deactivate the touchpad in the Mouse Settings configuration tool.
If you are trying to use the touchpad, look at Preferences->Hardware->Mouse, then touchpad tab, and check that "activate touchpad" is checked (my system language is not English, so I am guessing the names of the English menus, but perhaps it is not exactly those names).
In my experience, it is checked be default, but perhaps it could be unchecked for some reason.
You can become an associate member and receive an USB keychain loaded with a live Trisquel image.
You can also order an installation stick with six months installation support by Thinkpenguin.

This is for libreboot, but it works for canoeboot and also other bioses probably too:

Follow the below if you don't want to visit site.
The # lines are just instructions
#If you downloaded your ISO while on an existing Linux system, here is how to create the bootable Linux USB drive:
#Connect the USB drive. Check lsblk, to confirm its device name (e.g., /dev/sdX):
lsblk
#For this example, let’s assume that our drive’s name is sdb. Make sure that it’s not mounted:
sudo umount /dev/sdb
#Overwrite the drive, writing your distro ISO to it with dd. For example, if we are installing Foobarbaz Linux, and it’s located in our Downloads folder, this is the command we would run:
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/foobarbaz.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=8M; sync
This is how I do it.
