Keyboard/mouse not working after reboot on arch based distros #197

saikat0511 · 2021-10-22T05:04:12Z

Installed key-mapper-git from AUR. After setting it up and rebooting the mouse doesn't work. It starts working after couple of minutes but then the keyboard stops working. Uninstalling the package fixes the issue.

Both manjaro and endeavouros show this behavior. I am using KDE.

Attaching a journalctl log if that helps...
eos-log-tool.log

Are you able to reproduce the problem by running the service manually?

sudo systemctl stop key-mapper && sudo systemctl disable key-mapper would stop it and it won't start automatically at boot anymore

then run sudo key-mapper-service -d in a console in order to get some debug logs. Keep this running. Once you open the gui tool after that and start the injection you should be able to see more logs in the console.

Once the problem is reproduced please share the logs. If you want to avoid sharing everything you typed in here, you can remove all lines saying SPAM keycode_mapper.py. "SPAM" lines that appear after the problem is reproduced might be interesting though.

The mouse you are trying to map is the "Logitech M585/M590", right? And it seems to be a bluetooth mouse?

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T09:00:14Z

The output of xinput might be useful from

when key-mapper is not running
when key-mapper is working correctly
when key-mapper starts having the problem

The mouse you are trying to map is the "Logitech M585/M590", right? And it seems to be a bluetooth mouse?

yes, and yes. It don't think it matters tho because it works fine with key-mapper when I use it on ubuntu based distros

sudo systemctl stop key-mapper && sudo systemctl disable key-mapper would stop it and it won't start automatically at boot anymore

It doesn't seem to work. After reboot systemctl status shows disabled but Mouse KB still stop working. (Seems like the problem isn't with key-mapper but something else?)

xinput output seems interesting. Mouse disappears from the output when it stops working, reappears when when it starts working again but the keyboard disappears as it stops working (had to use onscreen keyboard to use the terminal)

When mouse stops working after reboot:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

Note that the keyboard is listed and working at this point in time, but the mouse and touchpad are not. (~~touchscreen and pen are not affected~~)

After couple of minutes mouse and touchpad start working again, but keyboard stops working and disappears from xinput output:

Another thing I noticed is that during installation I get this in between the logs:

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/key-mapper.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/key-mapper.service.

See "systemctl status key-mapper.service" and "journalctl -xeu key-mapper.service" for details.

After installation completes running systemctl status key-mapper.service show the following:

At this point key-mapper along with mouse and keyboard all work fine, until I reboot after which the issue happens. That error seems useful.

saikat0511 · 2021-10-22T12:46:53Z

Running sudo key-mapper-service -d for the first time gave me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/key-mapper-service", line 28, in <module>
    from keymapper.logger import update_verbosity, log_info, \

    import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Did a quick google search and fixed it by installing python-setuptools

After a reboot mouse, touchpad, touchscreen and pen were not working (key-mapper was disabled in systemctl). Ran the command and got the following:

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T13:12:41Z

I just added python-setuptools to the dependencies in the AUR package, thanks

It doesn't seem to work. After reboot systemctl status shows disabled but Mouse KB still stop working. (Seems like the problem isn't with key-mapper but something else?)

You can verify if it is really stopped by checking ps -aux | grep key-mapper, or via key-mapper-control --command hello

Note, that the user interface starts a service process if it is not found running

saikat0511 · 2021-10-22T13:53:07Z

After disabling the service and reboot, output of key-mapper-control --command hello is:
ERROR: Service not running? g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name keymapper.Control was not provided by any .service files (2)

While the mouse remains non fuctional the output of ps -aux | grep key-mapper is:

Once the mouse and other input devices start working and keyboard stops working the output of the same is:

Also this issue seems random. Sometimes after reboot all devices works as expected and nothing goes wrong :/

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T14:08:15Z

After a reboot mouse, touchpad, touchscreen and pen were not working (key-mapper was disabled in systemctl). Ran the command and got the following:

If the command doesn't exit right away it probably means it wasn't running before

When the mouse started working and keyboard stopped working, the following lines appeared in the teminal:

This is caused by key-mappers udev rule https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper/blob/clean-history-main/data/key-mapper.rules

i.e. something is causing your devices to disconnect and reconnect or something

Tried to autoload "Wacom HID 5218 Pen" without configuring the daemon first via set_config_dir.

I just pushed changes to main that avoid this problem when the gui connects to the service, or when it is run via sudo on its own

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T14:17:38Z

So

service not running, key-mapper installed: issues
service running, key-mapper installed: issues
service not running, key-mapper uninstalled: no issues

did I get that right?

Are you still having issues if you run sudo mv /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/key-mapper.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/key-mapper.rules.old to disable key-mappers udev rule? That would mean you have to start the injections yourself via the gui or key-mapper-control.

saikat0511 · 2021-10-22T17:43:06Z

running sudo mv /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/key-mapper.rules /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/key-mapper.rules.old seems to have fixed the issue. Rebooted multiple times to verify, working as expected. Thanks!

That would mean you have to start the injections yourself via the gui or key-mapper-control

I am not sure what do you mean by that. Autoload is still working.

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T17:47:50Z

Autoload is still working

probably because of https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper/blob/clean-history-main/data/key-mapper-autoload.desktop, which triggers autoloading on login, I forgot about that one.

If you unplug your device and plug it back in, the preset won't be applied though. Having udev rules seemed to be required to make it work with bluetooth devices in at least one case.

saikat0511 · 2021-10-22T18:14:51Z

yeah presets aren't applied after replugging the device. I can live with that tho, I dont usually disconnect my mouse.

Any clue why is this only happening on arch based distros? I have been using key-mapper on many debian/ubuntu based distros and it has been worked flawlessly on the same system.

sezanzeb · 2021-10-22T18:30:30Z

no idea unfortunately.

Maybe you could try to compare/upgrade kernel, systemd and libevdev versions

Liniya · 2021-11-04T07:58:05Z

I'm also on Manjaro KDE, and it displays a bit different symptoms for me. Fairly often after a reboot, sound would be disabled for a couple of minutes (the speaker icon in the task panel is crossed out), then it is enabled by itself displaying the name of the sound card briefly, and at the same moment, an error like this appears in the logs:

Nov 04 09:18:13 hostname systemd-udevd[378]: event18: Spawned process '/bin/key-mapper-control --command autoload --device /dev/input/event18' [777] timed out after 2min 59s, killing
Nov 04 09:18:13 hostname systemd-udevd[332]: event18: Worker [378] processing SEQNUM=4133 killed
Nov 04 09:18:13 hostname systemd-udevd[332]: event18: Worker [378] failed

Sometimes this doesn't happen and it seems fine. It's completely random. Likewise for the remapped buttons, most of the time they do work regardless of whether this error appears, but sometimes they do stop (either after a reboot, or after this error appears, I think) and I need to open the key-mapper menu and re-apply the preset.

For now, I've tried to apply the fix mentioned here with renaming udev rules file to .old, and so far I'm not seeing this error after 3 reboots.

sezanzeb · 2021-11-04T10:42:30Z

I just added timeouts to the key-mapper-control calls that are much shorter than the udev timeout. Does that improve anything for you?

Liniya · 2021-11-04T15:17:20Z

I've reinstalled the AUR package, and likewise, not seeing this error so far after 3 reboots. I'll see how it goes and report back if it happens again. Thanks.

Liniya · 2021-11-08T08:51:05Z

Well, it seems this has started again, after working for a couple of days without errors. Here's the first one, from yesterday:

Nov 07 08:39:47 hostname systemd-udevd[358]: event13: Spawned process '/bin/key-mapper-control --command autoload --device /dev/input/event13' [716] timed out after 2min 59s, killing
Nov 07 08:39:47 hostname systemd-udevd[331]: event13: Worker [358] processing SEQNUM=4144 killed
Nov 07 08:39:47 hostname systemd-udevd[331]: event13: Worker [358] failed

And two from today. Strangely the 'spawned process' line referring specifically to key-mapper is not present in the 1st one:

Nov 08 07:13:06 hostname systemd-udevd[332]: event15: Worker [347] processing SEQNUM=4129 killed
Nov 08 07:13:06 hostname systemd-udevd[332]: event15: Worker [347] failed

Nov 08 11:09:09 hostname systemd-udevd[377]: event17: Spawned process '/bin/key-mapper-control --command autoload --device /dev/input/event17' [778] timed out after 2min 59s, killing
Nov 08 11:09:09 hostname systemd-udevd[333]: event17: Worker [377] processing SEQNUM=4163 killed
Nov 08 11:09:09 hostname systemd-udevd[333]: event17: Worker [377] failed

There was no problem with the mapped buttons regardless of these errors, at least today (wasn't able to check yesterday).

For now, I will probably try that udev renaming fix again and run it like that for a while, to try and see if there's something else there at play.

Since it is still timing out the timeout is apparently not happening when communicating with the service, but maybe rather when connecting to it.

Apparently bus.get (https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper/blob/main/keymapper/daemon.py#L186) also supports a timeout (see https://github.com/LEW21/pydbus/blob/cc407c8b1d25b7e28a6d661a29f9e661b1c9b964/pydbus/proxy.py)

I don't know when I'll be able to test and push a change (I'm not at home right now and am super busy), but if you have time maybe you'll find out that using interface = bus.get(BUS_NAME, timeout=10) helps in the meantime.

I added that edit to daemon.py (in two places as there was one more similar line below). Unfortunately, it didn't help, I'm still getting that error at random. Additionally, I got the following error once after a power loss. The mapped keys didn't work at that time.

Nov 09 19:49:44 hostname systemd[1]: key-mapper.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.

Thanks for trying!

what does systemctl status key-mapper yield after booting? Is there anything interesting in /var/log/key-mapper?

In order to debug this we would have to find the place where it hangs until udev times out. I'm not sure how to proceed

Liniya · 2021-11-12T08:35:57Z

Okay, this error wasn't showing itself for some time, but today's one seemed somewhat 'big' so here's the report.

Upon booting at first, the sound icon was crossed out as usual in these cases. At this time there was nothing of interest yet in the journal (journalctl -b -p4).
Mapped keys did NOT work. Status of key-mapper.service was shown as follows:

cat /var/log/key-mapper displayed the following (probably referring to some previous boot launch?):

Afterwards, trying systemctl start key-mapper.service:

Mapped keys still did NOT work. At last, I had to open the key-mapper window and apply the preset again. The keys started working again, and key-mapper log became this:

Other than that, I had boots with everything working normally, as well as boots with only the 'worker killed' error messages in the log (no specific references to key-mapper, as stated above). I've found that in the latter case, the mapped keys were working normally as well.

sezanzeb · 2021-11-14T11:38:54Z

yeah presets aren't applied after replugging the device

so if you do that with the udev rule in place, does autoloading work after plugging in the mouse?

sezanzeb · 2021-11-14T13:33:28Z

Please install the backage from the AUR again and try to reboot.

Debug logs for the udev rule are now written to /var/log/key-mapper-control, this might help to find the issue

Liniya · 2021-11-16T06:50:09Z

Hey, thanks for trying.

It keeps 1000 lines now instead of only 200 and logs if the command finished. Can you please reinstall from the latest source and try to reproduce the problem again?

I'll work on avoiding starting the SharedDict if it is not needed

sezanzeb · 2021-11-20T12:42:11Z

That was really easy actually, the log output should be cleaner now. There is also a very slim chance that the SharedDict might have caused the trouble because of all the multiprocessing and ipc stuff.

sezanzeb · 2021-11-21T21:03:39Z

Device info is now lazy-loaded. This keeps the log shorter and avoids more unnecessary potential for bugs for key-mapper-control.

I'm really looking forward to knowing how all of that affects the issue

If you still have problems, journalctl -g key-mapper | tail -n 1000 gives more interesting information

saikat0511 · 2021-11-22T15:57:44Z

I can still see many errors in /var/log/key-mapper and /var/log/key-mapper-control but everything works as expected now. Autoload works and all input devices are working fine after reboot!

sezanzeb · 2021-11-22T15:58:34Z

Nice, can you please post those errors anyway? ERROR key-mapper-control:104: unknown device logs are not critical, don't worry about those

Just a couple of ERROR key-mapper-control:102: Unknown device

ERROR: Request to autoload "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" before a user told the service about their session using set_config_dir

This is usually happening before a user logged in. udev tells the service about an input device at boot time, but the service doesn't know yet where to look for a configuration. Maybe I can avoid those dbus calls alltogether somehow by checking if any user is logged in first via https://stackoverflow.com/a/14319024/4417769 or something

Of course doing that would also avoid the original issue completely, but making key-mapper-control calls more stable and easier to debug didn't hurt as well. I'll push more changes maybe tomorrow

Pushed final changes. If you still have more problems feel free to comment here, I'll close it for now
