Description Twisted Lucidity 2020-07-01 19:22:46 UTC
SUMMARY
Unable to use Plasma Bigscreen in anyway.
Pi4 is working find with OSs installed on other microSDs, it's not the USB controller.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Flash new miscroSD card
2. Install
3. Attempt to use

OBSERVED RESULT
Appears to launch and arrives at the main screen, but ignores all HDMI, USB keyboard and USB mouse input. After pairing with Mycroft (via ethernet as it is not possible to configure WiFi), all USB voice input is ignored.

EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to use HDMI and USB keyboard at the least.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Bigscreen Beta (downloaded yesterday, 2020/06/30)
(available in About System)
Unable to provide any more info, not possible to access anything.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
RasPi 4 8GB
32GB microSD

Which logs do you need? I should be able to pull them from the micorSD.

I can also corroborate this using the Pi4 8GB and a blue yeti and AIY voice kit HAT and a generic USB 2.0 keyboard connected before boot alternating between the Pi 2 & 3 ports for each- using a fresh reimage for each.

Didn't notice how old the build was. Will try building from source- https://github.com/KDE/plasma-bigscreen
