Mouse or keyboard don't work on Kodi after fresh install

Hello, have installed Kodi via dietpi-software, it boots up nice but neither my mouse nor my keyboard works, Yatse and/or other remotes don’t work either as I need to enable them first…but can’t because I cannot control Kodi by anything… help please!

PS: Rpi2B, Kodi was working fine before, mouse and keyboard work on other devices, they also get power, I could see the registered but they don’t move the cursor…

Hi!
I had the same issue and it took me a while to figure out the solution.
The problem is simply, that the default user (dietpi) is not in the group “input”.

To add the user to the input group, run the command as root:

usermod -a -G input dietpi

Now reboot and it should work :slight_smile:
