Description Michael Krauss 2008-04-20 14:25:56 UTC
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.

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.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2008-04-20 16:20:04 UTC
This almost certainly isn't kdm at fault here.  At least for me, even
CNTL-ALT-BACKSPACE doesn't work.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2008-04-23 19:08:09 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Mary Ellen Foster 2008-04-24 11:54:33 UTC
Unfortunately, I see that same line in my kdm.log on Fedora 8. :(

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2008-05-01 14:03:50 UTC
Including in kdmrc:
TerminateServer=true
(in kde-settings-4.0-22) , until proper fix for bug #443320 comes.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2008-05-01 14:17:52 UTC
fixed build available, please test:

Works just fine in my testing.

Comment 9 John Summerfield 2008-05-12 03:42:31 UTC
I'm thinking the timing of this is bad:
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
