Modprobe usbkbd

ruslombia

Hi, recently i moved from ubuntu to Solus. One of my computers I use it in a minimarket, for that purpose I need to use a simple barcode reader. Back in ubuntu I found that activating the usbkbd module make it works, and for permanent fixing just need it to unmark the line in the blacklist file from the modprobe.d folder.

In solus I was not able to modprobe the module:
sudo modprobe usbkbd
modprobe: FATAL: Module usbkbd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.2.13-126.current

or find the blacklist file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory

Although lsusb founds the device as a keyboard interface, but i guess it really needs the usbkbd module to works properly...how can I fix that?
bash-5.0$ lsusb
.....
Bus 001 Device 006: ID ffff:0035 BARCODE SCANNER Keyboard Interface
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Thanks for your answers

You might try an older kernel, because typically Ubuntu runs more stable kernels, like 4.19. I don't know that will help, but it's one difference that I can think of.
However, your message seems to say the module is missing. Validate that by investigating? Maybe the device name has changed (I have no idea..just a maybe)
