Installing Ubuntu with no keyboard - Microsoft Surface Laptop 2.txt

# These are copy pastable instructions to installing Ubuntu with no keyboard.
# Had this problem installing Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04 on Microsoft Surface Laptop 2.

# You can drag the text between windows, too.
# Choose offline option and no 3rd party installation. You can update later.

# YOU CANNOT use full disk encryption, as keyboard won't work while booting up!

# EASIEST WAY: Upload this file to https://pastebin.com/, then you can use the
# "Universal Access" keyboard works for wifi password entry. You can then install 
# "Florence Virtual Keyboard" from Software app.


# From here, it's notes to copy/paste or drag/drop between the windows to install.
