[Bug 1083562] New: Super (Meta) Key stops working
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083562 Bug ID: 1083562 Summary: Super (Meta) Key stops working Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: felipesabrahao@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After a while working on my laptop and/or after some suspend/hibernate the super (meta) key stop working in order to launch the application menu. The problem disappear after rebooting. The Alt+F1 shortcut keeps working normally too. Reproducible: sometimes after suspend/hibernate on KDE Plasma 5.11 in Tumbleweed snapshot 02/02/2018. The problem does not happen on KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS. Workaround: I load the application Superkey if i want to work around the problem without rebooting. The problem may be related to https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/5ovjqu/super_key_meta_not_working_anym... but I haven't tested its suggestions yet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does it start working again after you did "kquitapp5 kglobalaccel5; kglobalaccel5 & kwin_x11 --replace"?
No. It actually broke my compositor. I had to rollback my system and reassign Alt+F1 to application menu in order to make it Meta key work again. One thing weird is that even after rollback the system is taking a extremely long while to shutdown. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, "kwin_x11 --replace" must not do anything like that. Restarting the compositor works reliably in any case, so if it doesn't, something else is really broken and needs to be fixed first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Don't have any idea where the issue might be. The system is working OK though. The Super key problem also happened again after a while. One thing I found odd is that when the super key is working out-of-the-box after reboot, launching ksuperkey causes the meta key to stop working (Alt+F1 stil works). And launching ksuperkey after the problem appears solves the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just as a matter of curiosity, since I believe it might be an unrelated problem, the service ruining my shutdown/reboot time (over 8 min on Tumbleweed logo) was mariadb. I traced it down through system journal I saw that it was running until timeout. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have updated my Tumbleweed and the problem has happened once too. KDE Plasma: 5.12.2 Qt Version: 5.10 Frameworks Version: 5.43.0 XOrg: Mesa 18.0.0 and xorg-x11-server 1.19.6 Kernel: 4.15.7 -- Reproducible: - Last time it happened after I folded my 2-in-1 laptop into tablet mode. The keyboad is disabled automatically in tablet mode. Then, after I unfolded my laptop, keyboard was activated again normally but the superkey was not opening the Menu. I didn't try to reboot my system and reproduce this, since I'm still working and I cannot close my applications until finishing my job. --- Workaround: - I run ksuperkey. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
