Now, when I get to the graphical login, my USB is dead. I can boot
single-user mode and the keyboard works fine; as soon as the graphical
login loads, USB appears dead (keyabord is like it is powered off, no
Numlock, Capslock, etc.). Tried unplugging keyboard, moving it to
different USB ports (directly on the computer instead of hub), etc. with
no result. The fact that the keyboard works in single-user mode shows
there's no hardware problem, Linux USB issue, etc.
Just for fun, a long time ago I did a minimal install and notice this, on
single-user mode keyboard and mouse seems to not work, and also I make a
mistake by setting as default graphical instead of multi-user, then when
the computer reboots I was not able even to poweroff the computer.
On single-user mode do a search for a package "libinput" or something like
"xorg-libinput", also search for something like "xorg-xkb", not sure
but
once of this make the trick. Install one by one and see which of them fix
the problem.
Do not set graphical mode as default, because if this don't solve the
problem you will not able to do something else, always run a startx fron
single user session to see if the keyboard is working on graphical login.
Also install a login, lightdm is the default for Mate, in case it is not
already installed.
Seems like a weak/bad dependency solving from a "not yet a production
software, buggy and experimental"... dnf. Recently a friend faced the same
proble when he did a minimal install.
