Vahram, can you specifiy your problem in more detail? Does your keyboard stop working and everything else still works? I have a similar problem and I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or KDE or another software component (such as Xorg). My problem looks like the following: - Suddenly the keyboard stops working (even CAPS-lock/NUM-lock doesn't work, LED) - Mousepointer still works, clicking does not work - Nothing on the desktop is accessable anymore but visible - Amarok for example still plays music - The computer "reacts" to usb connect/disconnect of devices (I can see that through LED of harddisk) Are you experiencing similar problems? i have similar problems like geroxp@web.de on fedora 11/12 and ubuntu 9.04. @geroxp@web.de: can you still switch to console with alt+ctrl+f3 e.g.? two weeks ago it happened to a friend of mine at the computer pool of my university running opensuse 11.1 but it was a gnome session. so it might be an xorg bug Hello, Yes I have the same problem how often does it happen to you? for me it happens sometimes once an hour. sometimes i can work for five ours without problems? do you think that the keyboard status applet is the right address? i notice the freezing always during windows (alt+tab) or desktop switches. so it might be a kwin bug I'm having the same problem. It definitely mostly happened during window/desktop switch. I suspect kwin too and I think that switching to virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F?) and killing and restarting kwin (killall kwin && kwin) made my keyboard work again. Can someone confirm that? switching the virtual desktop and then hit alt+tab often with interruptions reproduces the bug for me. (kwin --replace) makes keyboard responsive again. so it should be addressed to kwin this time also the mouse button events were frozen. but killing kwin via ssh made everything responsive again *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 171685 *** |
