Creating a bug report/issue

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Required Information

  • DietPi version | 10.6.2
  • Distro version | trixie
  • Kernel version | Linux odroid2 6.18.37-current-meson64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 27 10:06:50 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux
  • Architecture | arm64
  • SBC model | Odroid C4 (aarch64)

Additional Information (if applicable)

In USB keyboard not working with DietPi_OdroidC4-ARMv8-Trixie.img.xz on odroid c4 I got a test kernel
that enabled the keyboard. The change was committed in: http s://github.com/MichaIng/build/commit/2a2062d.

I upgraded today using:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

to get newer kernels with security fixes, and the keyboard is no longer working.

I then ran the command to upgrade to dietpi 10.6.2.
Rebooted and the keyboard still didn’t work.

I then downloaded from dietpi.com/downloads/binaries:

  • linux-u-boot-odroidc4-current.deb
  • linux-headers-current-meson64.deb
  • linux-image-current-meson64.deb
  • linux-libc-dev-current-meson64.deb

and installed using apt-get install ./*.deb

It did some compilations and I rebooted. Keyboard still not
working.

Steps to reproduce

See above

Expected behaviour

The usb keyboard should work. Typing keys should show up in
open terminal.

Actual behaviour

Typing keys produces nothing.

Extra details

dmesg reports keyboard and hub (which worked fine before the
initial apt-get update/upgrade) as:

Also, I was unable to find any apt or dpkg logs in /var/log/apt/* or /var/log/dpkg.log (all files are empty), so I don’t have info about what I upgraded to.
Since /var/log is on tmpfs, this makes sense, but I though there was some
method that stored the logs on shutdown???

Thanks.
