Keyboard issues: stops responsing

[nenadalm]

It happens to me time to time (about twice per month I think) that keyboard stops responding as usual. If I hit a key, nothing happens. But if I hold a key, it starts writing after a while (but I need to hold every key from that time to be able to write anything).

Restart of Awesome doesn't help.
Quit Awesome and login again does help.

It might be interesting what xev gives you in this case. Does it behave normally?

[nenadalm]

I'll post it here once it happens again. Thanks.

im having the same problem right now !

xev gives normal output it just take long time press to the key being recognized .

ok after looking around looks like the problem is connected to GDM i just would like to know if nenadalm uses GDM also

[blueyed]

Does ibus restart help in this case?

[nenadalm]

@WillianPaiva I did use gdm, but since I don't expect to use more window managers in the nearest future, I disabled it.

It didn't happen from the time I disabled it yet.

[WillianPaiva]

I did change gdm for slim and i until the moment no problem an it was a frequent problem

[WillianPaiva]

Sory i had did change before testing ibus restart
But a quick solution was holding shift for 10 seconds than it was back to normal

[actionless]

just faced the same issue (and faced it few days before on other machine)
so current is using slim, other is not using any DM
i don't have ibus

in xev keys output looks as usual

it seems to be what affected only mod4, arrow keys, home, end, insert, delete
page down behaves like menu key
page up behaves like /

UPD: keysym in xev output not matches:

UPD2: forgot to mention what that problem usually happens after reloading awesome

[nenadalm]

@actionless - exactly the same happened to me a few days ago (since it was for the first time, I didn't pay attention to that)

[nenadalm]

without reloading awesome

[psychon]

Could this be the same issue as #415?

[psychon]

Since no one complaint, I'll assume that this is the Qt issue from #415 ("Qt is stealing our jobs mouse events).
