Sounds like a variant of bug #631767 (for all that is holy, I wish upstream could acknowledge or reproduce the problem :( ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 631767 *** I checked bug #631767 but I dont think that it is a duplicate. The problem described there is, that an advertised keyboard shortcut is not working. The problem described here, is that switching between modes results in a total loss of keyboard. NO keys are working after switching in NO text field or window. Especially login is impossible, if you can not enter your name or password. I think the problem here is far more critical, because login is impossible at all. Re-opening. If you still think its duplicate, then please close again. I will then not re-open again. The other bug was about lack of focus, so does clicking anywhere help? Regardless, I think the bugs are related to the same core issue(s), but ok. :) (In reply to comment #3) > The other bug was about lack of focus, so does clicking anywhere help? No, clicking does not help. Even returning to LocalLogin did not fix the keyboard. It stays unusable. OK, please do file upstream @ bugs.kde.org if possible. I'll get around to it myself when I get a chance to test for reproducibility. confirmed, same issue, marking as dup *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 631767 *** No, it is not a duplicate of bug #631797 because I confirmed that bug #631797 is fixed, but the issue here is still buggy. Reopening. Sorry, I meant a duplicate of bug #631767 as stated in comment #7 and not bug #631797 as I wrote in comment #8. Just reopened bug #631767 , it's not fixed. I still think this is a dup, but we can keep both open if it makes you feel better (I'll mark it "depends on" so at least they're linked) This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Still happening in F19? Still valid. Yes still seems to be bugged in F19 The way I found it was: menu -> remote login -> select local login from drop down in dialogue that appears to return -> keyboard does not produce output into password field Workaround ---------- Menu -> Restart X server -> keyboard now produces output into password field - however returning to remote login will return you back to square 1. Works for me at least. Prehaps a bit late given KDM's demise in F21 (pushed back from F20) but it now works for me in F20. Yes, that was bug #631767 as referenced in comment #10 (re'duping) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 631767 *** |
