I have SUSE 10.1 installed on a machine that has one user accoun that
no longer gets keyboard input. I rebooted the machine to thinking that
it was a bad keyboard but the replacement keyboard worked to log into
the account but does not work once in the account. I logged out of the
account and into another user account and the keyboard works just fine
in the other account.
Back to the first account and it still only allows me to log into the
account but does not receive keyboard intput once logged in. This
account uses the KDEwallet tool for password authentication. I tried
to type in a terminal window and still no keyboard input. This account
is really stuck because once the screensaver kicks in with password
protection it can not be logged back into.
I am able to remotely access the system and the user account, access
the file system for the troubled user. But I do not know what to do to
fix the problem. The problem just started yesterday as the machine was
left with the screensaver on (Clock) and we were away from the machine
for a few hours then when we came back it was locked-up. The
applications that were open were Kontact, Konquerer, Firefox.
Any suggestions on how to fix this will be appreciated.
First thing I would try, ssh into troubled account and mv ~/.kde to
~/.kde.keep. Then log out the account and see if the keyboard works
when you log back in.
If this works, the problem is probably related to a kde setting
related to the display (I'm guessing here).
I have observed similar on my 10.1 x86_64 X2 system, but do not see it
if I let the system complete its login (completely) before I try to
use the keyboard. But my system is using a kernel from 10.2
(kernel-default-2.6.18.8-396.1)because I did not have usb access with
the kernels available for 10.1. Funny, would work from the live cd
but would not even complete the install with usb devices attached.
gud luk,
