Hi!
I attempted to install guix system on an gpd micropc laptop, choosing an encrypted filesystem without a separate home partition. The laptop keyboard is a usb keyboard. Once installed, I was able to use the keyboard for the first time the password was asked for. The second time, however, the keyboard was not functional.

Being USB, I don't think any special support from the kernel Linux would
need to be enabled, but we'd need to know which keyboard exactly.
Closing since this is a very old bug. I hope you could sort it out!
Thanks,
