From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041301 Fedora/3.0-0.54.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Description of problem: It is not possible to login into kdm again after logging out from kde. Kdm doesn't accept any keystrokes, while interaction by the mouse is still possible. Workaround: After restarting X server, I can log in again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-workspace-4.0.3-16.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into KDE 2. Log out from KDE 3. Try to login again Actual Results: Kdm didn't accept any keystrokes, so I can't enter my password. Expected Results: Kdm should accept input from keyboard. Additional info:
I've seen this on occasion too, but only after I suspend->resume my laptop. Methinks there's an X bugosity going on here. Session->Restart X server is a quick-n-dirty workaround.
This almost certainly isn't kdm at fault here. At least for me, even CNTL-ALT-BACKSPACE doesn't work.
Looking /var/log/kdm.log I see something suspicious: <stdin>:30:1: error: unterminated #if no idea if that's bad or where it's coming from though.
Unfortunately, I see that same line in my kdm.log on Fedora 8. :(
Including in kdmrc: TerminateServer=true (in kde-settings-4.0-22) , until proper fix for bug #443320 comes.
fixed build available, please test: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=47798
*** Bug 443699 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Works just fine in my testing.
I'm thinking the timing of this is bad: (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" (II) ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse: Close (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
