Hi,

Have latest version of Virtualbox, and created a VM for AlpineLinux. Also
installed virtualbox-guest-additions and then this:
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LXQt

When I startup  the VM, the Lxqt GUI starts up but the VM doesn't seem to
see the mouse nor keyboard. I am therefore stuck at the desktop
login-screen and unable to proceed. I've never seen this type of error for
any of my other VMs (and I've installed Alpine and other Linux distros).

Any ideas on why this might be happening?

cheers.

Hi,

When you ran setup-xorg-base did it intall xf86-input-libinput?

Just a guess.

That was indeed the problem. The xorg-base setup had not been done, not
sure how I missed it. Installing xf86-input-libinput resolved that issue.

Thanks and cheers.
