Created attachment 505401 [details] dmesg with debug Description of problem: I was using kate, firefox (several tabs and windows), opera (several tabs), amarok, etc. It happened when i was typing in kate, switching back and forth firefox (cut & paste) and maybe opera. Instantly i noticed that the keyboard stopped responding. Thankfully, due my past experience with (in F13): * Bug 645610 - xorg keyboard stops working, must reboot or restart xorg I had setup the kde plasma-keyboard widget, so i checked dmesg and Xorg.0.log and no error was issued. I closed all programs and the keyboard did not return. I had to exit KDE and re-login again. CAPS LOCK did not work when the keyboard was "absent". It is strange that it did not happen during all the heavy use during F15 alpha & beta. I opened another bug-report due to: * a lot of hardware changes were made during that bug-report (example, nouveau > nvidia > radeon), so that bug-report is in some sense polluted and the software versions all all different. * i used this system since F15 alpha was 'pre-released', the only recent addition is a sata_sil24 pcie controller. * i cannot belive it had returned, but there is one important catch: i started using my /home filesystem only when F15 was released and not with F15a/F15b, so there might be some offending config in /home. If that is the case, it will explain the 'return of the bug'. This is the first time it happened since i installed F15 release. It only happened while in KDE. (it also applies to bug 645610). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 kdelibs.x86_64 6:4.6.3-5.fc15 @updates kdelibs-common.x86_64 6:4.6.3-5.fc15 @updates kdelibs-debuginfo.x86_64 6:4.6.3-5.fc15 @updates-debuginfo xorg-x11-drv-ati.x86_64 6.14.1-1.20110504gita6d2dba6.fc15 @koji-override-0/$releasever xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.10.2-1.fc15 @updates How reproducible: * happens sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. open al lot of programs (KDE) 2. at least kate, firefox, konsole 3. it may/may not happen. Actual results: * unable to type with the physical keyboard. the plasma-keyboard keeps working. * the problem is worse when i have opened a lot of files and being forced to close them all is really annoying. Expected results: Additional info: KDE DE enabled (OpenGL) Video: VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Redwood [Radeon HD 5670] [1002:68d8] , using open source driver radeon (KMS).
Created attachment 505402 [details] Xorg.0.log.old from the time of the issue
The /home filesystem was created in 03/08/2009, so it was created under Slackware 12.1, which uses KDE 3.5.x. Then i installed Slackware64 13.0 which was released in 03/09/2009 and uses KDE 4.2.x, at that moment i did delete the KDE3 config. Then i installed Slackware64 13.1 (stangely, the release anouncement does not appear in both the page and in the anouncement mailing list...). I used it shortly and them installed F13 and then F15, a week after it was released. $ pwd /home/guille $ ls -ld .kde* drwx------. 6 guille guille 4096 Jul 3 2010 .kde drwxr-xr-x. 4 guille guille 4096 Feb 21 2010 .kde4 -rw-------. 1 guille guille 546 Sep 4 2010 .kderc drwxr-xr-x. 3 guille guille 4096 Oct 27 2010 .kdevduchain $ ls -l .kde/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x. 2 guille guille 4096 Aug 28 2009 Autostart lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 24 Aug 28 2009 cache-ulquiorra -> /var/tmp/kdecache-guille lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 24 Jul 3 2010 cache-ulquiorra.espada -> /var/tmp/kdecache-guille drwxr-xr-x. 2 guille guille 4096 Aug 29 2009 env drwx------. 10 guille guille 4096 Aug 29 2009 share drwxr-xr-x. 2 guille guille 4096 Aug 29 2009 shutdown lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 19 Aug 28 2009 socket-ulquiorra -> /tmp/ksocket-guille lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 19 Jul 3 2010 socket-ulquiorra.espada -> /tmp/ksocket-guille lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 15 Aug 28 2009 tmp-ulquiorra -> /tmp/kde-guille lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 15 Jul 3 2010 tmp-ulquiorra.espada -> /tmp/kde-guille $ ls -l .kde4/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 guille guille 4096 Feb 21 2010 Autostart lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 24 Feb 21 2010 cache-ulquiorra -> /var/tmp/kdecache-guille drwx------. 5 guille guille 4096 Feb 21 2010 share lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 19 Feb 21 2010 socket-ulquiorra -> /tmp/ksocket-guille lrwxrwxrwx. 1 guille guille 15 Feb 21 2010 tmp-ulquiorra -> /tmp/kde-guille There are some files older than the filesystem, i do not remember if i had restored it when i migrated from a single partition to a raid1 /home. I did remember that i deleted the kde3 config stuff, but is it normal to have both .kde and .kde4 directories? what is kdevduchain?
I switched to F17 recently and i never encountered the issue since the last comment, so that is a good thing. Please close this bugreport.
