MX Linux Forum

Sorted thank you

Hi
I have a recon Dell 7040 This has windows 10 on which will not allow mw to boot from USB direct - all the tutorials I can find say use windows subsytem. I don't want to do this I want to be able to boot MX & totally erase windows

Briliiant thank you!!!!!
That's sorted it!!

Thank you Really helpful!!!!!!
I got Hewlett-Packard Company HP USB Smart Card Keyboard
but I can't see that as an option in set keyboard
Anyone know which option I could take [or if there isn't one]

No sorry Keyboard worked ok with MX19 I do not know what layout the keyboard is nor can I asceratin just by looking at it I know what I have set the MX linux system to [UK 105 keys] but it does not work Muy question is - is iit possible for the PC to see what type of keyboard I am using so I can ...

Not the question. User wants to see if the keyboard can be identified in MX, I wager something like setxkbmap? Mine gives the following on this line. Is that kind of what you mean with your question? $ setxkbmap -query | grep layout layout: us Thank you that is exactly what I meant I need to know ...

So in answer to my question 'Is there a way in which my PC can detect the physical keyboard I am using' I presume the answer is no? ie the actual type layout of keyboard

Thank you I am not sure how this will help detect the keyboard but here it is System: Kernel: 6.1.0-23-amd64 [6.1.99-1] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0 parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-23-amd64 root=UUID=<filter> ro quiet splash Desktop: Xfce v: 4.18.1 tk: Gtk v: 3.24.36 info ...

Is there a way in which my PC can detect the physical keyboard I am using - current config is not working too well

Thank you
