Description alterpub 2014-02-03 08:50:37 UTC

Keyboard doesn't work in kdm(login screen) after reboot of pc.
But it's fine after kdm restart( I open connection to my pc from another one via ssh and make
"systemctl restart kdm" )
It's a logitech keyboard and I know about one bug with it, but I already have options in xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
  Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot pc
2. try to input text in the password field.
3. profit.
Actual Results:  
nothing, keyboard doesn't work.

Expected Results:  
asterisks have to appear in the password section.

restart of kdm helps, but It's fine for me, because I have 2 pc, what have to do people with 1 pc for restarting kdm ?

KDM is unmaintained and not used in KDE Plasma 5.

SDDM is the login manager used in KDE Plasma 5. If you still have this same issue with SDDM, please file an issue on the SDDM bugtracker (after doing a search for existing issues first!): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/
