I want to use a bluetooth keyboard during initram

Hi all,

I am currently using encryption on my hard drive via cryptsetup. To boot I need to type a password during initram to decrypt the root partition. This all works fine with a usb keyboard but I would like to use my logitech K810 bluetooth keyboard. How would I go about enabling bluetooth keyboard support during initram?

Re: I want to use a bluetooth keyboard during initram

Have you added that module to the initrd?


Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

Re: I want to use a bluetooth keyboard during initram

Hi Jasonwryan,

Thanks for moving this post to the correct thread. I have these modules loaded btusb and usbhid. Not sure if there is any other modules that is required. The part that I am stuck with, is how do I pair the keyboard inside the initrd image?

I don't really have any experience with bluetooth, but I would suggest wrtiting a hook to automate however you would normally pair the keyboard:

deons has not been on the forum since 2017. Please do not necrobump.

If you need support, open a new topic and link back to this one if you think it applies.

Closing.


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.
