Hi *,
for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard

intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard.

Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it?
I would try another desktop. XFCE, for instance.
At least xfce applications (for example xfce4-terminal) running in the KDE environment are showing the same symptoms, when the problem occurs.
Better try the full thing. Any desktop you can try, gtk based (so that the libraries are different).
Before that, I would watch the journal in a terminal while this happens (journalctl --follow).
Nothing is shown there in case of the problem, completely nothing.
Oh. I was hoping to see interrupt trouble or usb trouble. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
