v14 [SOLVED] Wifi Keyboard problem: Input of letters not working
#1
Hi all.
I just got a nice wireless mini keyboard (Rii i8) and I connected it to my Rb pi 2, with Raspbian and Kodi 14.1.
The thing is that the navigation works just fine, I can browse Kodi's sections here and there with no problem.
But if I try to input some text in the screen keyboard (e.g. when performing a search, inputing some URL,etc.), using the letter keys from the Rii keyboard, they do not work and nothing is typed on the screen.

I have been looking for this in different places but I fail to identify the problem Sad
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!
cheers

Hi again, I just found the solution to it here http://michael.gorven.za.net/raspberrypi/xbmc

To configure the keyboard to work on Kodi, the user that is running Kodi must belong to these groups >> audio video input dialout plugdev tty

For example, to add the user “pi” to the group “tty”, this is the command
$ sudo usermod -a -G tty pi

I was missing the "tty" group and after doing the previous and rebooting the system, it works now.
I hope it helps.
Cheers!
