Hi Lina,
It would be helpful for everyone to know a few more details.
This is an Intel Mac. If it has a touchbar, does the touchbar still work?
[Signs of life]
Did you install only Debian or does the machine still have MacOS on it as
well.
[Can you boot another operating system to check]
At what point does the internal keyboard stop working? Does it not work
from the outset?
Which boot medium did you use to install Debian? Where - which link - did
you download it from?
[There is a boot medium marked for Mac but this is for one specific model
of *old* Mac that has problems with disk layout. That should not be used -
use the amd64 .iso]
I note that the external keyboard that you plug in has a dvorak layout: I
assume that you have a Mac that does not have a dvorak layout built in.
If you install a us layout or a country-specific layout does that make a
difference?
I notice that you also messaged debian-devel and said that you would come
back to debian-user: it would be very helpful for problem-solving if you
could reply to the questions above. Reply to this email set to the
debian-user list.
