Summary | 0004117: No driver support on MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2017 | ||||
Description | When I run Kali from my Live USB it comes up, but there is no driver support for the included keyboard, mousepad, or touchbar. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce |
| ||||
Additional Information | Please help! Thanks much � | ||||
Linux support is barely working for touchbar MBPs, and as far as I know does not work out of the box on any distro. for WIP current status, see https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux Debian kernels do not enable CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX (which is required for the keyboard driver): https://bugs.debian.org/872004 I don't think Kali should care about integrating this support ahead of Debian, but enabling CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX in Kali kernels would at least allow users to build the keyboard drivers themselves. |
|
CONFIG_SPI_PXA2XX is now enabled in Kali kernels (via https://bugs.debian.org/872004), so the WIP keyboard/touchpad/touchbar driver https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver can now be simply installed using DKMS per the README in that repo. |
|
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup? |
