kicad does not take any keyboard input

[Robert Heller]

I don't know about ubuntu-24.04. but KiCAD 6.0.11 works just find under 
Debian 12 on my Raspberry Pi 5 (aarch64).  I did have ubuntu (22?) running on 
an AMD PC and KiCAD (I think 5?) on it an it worked just fine as well.

What version of KiCAD did you install?  How did you install it?
