Description of problem: When trying to boot the kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 my usb keyboard is deactivated during the LUKS passphrase prompt. No passphrase can be given. The keyboard was available in Grub to select a Kernel and it works after F17 is done booting. The usb keyboard worked (during the LUKS passphrase prompt) in all previous versions (up to kernel-3.5.6-1.fc17.x86_64). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Laptop 2. Select kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 at Grub selection screen 3. Try to enter the required LUKS passphrase Actual results: No passphrase can be given. As a workaround I now switched back to kernel-3.5.6-1.fc17.x86_64 Expected results: Ability to enter the passphrase. Additional info: Using a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 icw a Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard (SK-8855)
This also applies to kernel-3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64
This also applies to kernel-3.6.3-1.fc17.x86_64
This also applies to kernel-3.6.5-1.fc17.x86_64 I noticed that this issue does not occur icw a similar keyboard which is the: IBM Thinkpad USB Keyboard (SK-8845). In both cases I am using the exact same USB port. Note: The IBM version of this keyboard is much older than the Lenovo one. I hope this additional information helps to determine the root cause of this issue.
This also applies to kernel-3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64
This also applies to 3.6.8-2.fc17.x86_64
This still applies to 3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64
Still applies to 3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64
This issue still applies to 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 (after upgrade to Fedora 18, using fedup).
I have the same issue with a SK-8855 keyboard, using F19 with any of the kernel versions it provides (currently 3.10.11). I have also noticed that other external keyboards don't have this problem (I've tried several makes and models).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 18'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.
This bug still happens in F19 with 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64 kernel.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I had not experienced this bug in Fedora 29 but am now experiencing it in Fedora 30 on a new laptop for the past few minor kernel releases, now on kernel.x86_64 5.1.8-300.fc30. Just as the original reporter described, I can use my USB keyboard during GRUB selection and at the display manager login screen, but not at the LUKS password prompt. This has been broken since I initially installed the Fedora 30 RC on this laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T480s) when it was new, so I have not tried reverting to a previous kernel version. The USB keyboard I'm using is a Logitech MK710, connected to the laptop via a wireless USB dongle inserted into the Thunderbolt dock, but inserting the dongle directly into the laptop has not addressed the problem. The only workaround I have so far is to use the laptop's built-in keyboard to complete the LUKS password prompt.
Update: The problem as I experienced it on my laptop unexpectedly resolved itself after I reopened the issue this morning, despite no configuration changes or RPM updates on my end. Closing this bug again as I cannot reliably reproduce it any longer.
