Description Rajinder Yadav 2016-02-17 08:19:43 UTC

For no reason, kde will not respond to any mouse clicks, the mouse is still functional and all the windows are displayed as they were. This continue to happen and I am forced to do a hard-restart using the power button.

This is a critical bug, I am totally considering abandoning kde, I am simply tried of losing my work this way.

Reproducible: Sometimes

@ Christoph: The bug u related too was reported against KDE4, this may be not applicable here.

@ Yarinder: Without mentioning what distribution/KDE-version/Qt you are using nobody can you or even consider a appropiate reply. Even better if u attach some error-logs.

I do suffer a similar symptom, but it's rather Kernel related. If I have USB-2 and USB-3 devices attached, the keyboard is inresponsive at the boot-process when it arrives at GRUB (cannot selet anything there). Same comes up again after standby (STR). It helps than to switch mouse + keyboard to USB-2 and disconnect anything from USB-3 ports (or vice versa). This may as well be related to poor UEFI (Bios) programming by ASUS.

I'm using Kubuntu 15.10

~:$ kde4-config -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.13
kde4-config: 1.0

~:$ uname -a
Linux flow 4.2.0-30-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 19 13:52:26 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I still think this is a problem but has not happened to me for a long while. However my system  continues to hang when I put it to sleep sometimes. I don't know what's causing it, the video driver I am using is Nouveau.

Next time I get a hang putting the system to ram sleep, what logs should I grab on the reboot?

@ Rajinder

Log-files reside in /var/log/ look for something  like "pm-suspend.log", it rotates. Means that u can read 3 generations of the log.

dmidecode (packagename) gives you clarity about what hardware is involved. You could also check that you have an up-to-date BIOS.

P.S.: Excuses for misspelling your name. This was accidentally, without any bad intentions.
