[opensuse] Laptop keyboard not working after bootup
I had earlier today I had a bit of trouble with openSUSE 11 and the keyboard on my laptop. The keyboard started off working, pressed the escape key during boot to see the boot process, and I was able to login, but after that my keyboard stopped working. Kwallet, K3B, and Konsole was unable to see any key presses. When I told it to shutdown the shutdown process hung, I had 5 messages saying that there were processes hanging it did not say what processes all it have me was a PID which I was unable to switch to a different terminal to see what they where. This is the first time I seen this happen, and was wondering if this is a common problem. My laptop is a Acer Aspire 5100, AMD Turion 64 bit dual core processor, and ATI Radeon xpress 1100. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

I have a 5102WMLI with ATI xpress 1200. Did you install any kind of keyboard extra keys software, or define which keyboard that you had? I have a stock keyboard definition, and that works for me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I was having spasmodic lockups on the system as well. It turned out to be a file system problem on the partition that holds /home. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well I have the stock keyboard settings, unless YaST was being sneaky during

Well nice to know that a log out and in fixed the problem, that would be faster than restarting the system.

I am using the default SUSE settings for ext3 on my filesystem, and have not ran into any system wide lockup, so I'm sure it is not that. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper

Neither have I.

I had 10.3 on my laptop, with /home formatted ReiserFS. It would not hurt to log in as root and then umount your /home partition and do an fsck on it, just in case. I know Reiser is problematic on 11.0, but i just don;t care for the ext* File Systems.

I should have phrased that, I have heard, but then I had enough trouble trying to put 11.0 on a ResiserFS system that I did the unusual and let it format to ext3. The /home was and still is ResierFS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't see the point in formatting my /home partition to ReiserFS, Reiser is good with small files and that is the exact opposite that i have in my /home. I have not problems with ext filesystem and I have no problem with ext3 and Beagle. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

I am not suggesting that you format to ReiserFS, I am mentioning the root cause of a lock up problem that I had on my laptop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Oh sorry for not understanding you, its just when I read the last part you was suggesting that I use ReiserFS. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper
