gdm freeze after upgrade to systemd-247.1-1

Hi

The mouse and the keyboard are not responsive on GDM login screen after the upgrade of systemd to version 247.1-1.

Is there a new setup for mice and keyboards in systemd. Anyone know how to debug such issue.

I get the following error in journal for every event (mouse, keyboard etc)

Dec 03 19:09:37 arch /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[204]: (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'event0'
Dec 03 19:09:37 arch /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[204]: (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event0: No such device

the device does exist

Re: gdm freeze after upgrade to systemd-247.1-1

Hi,
I’m not sure if I have the same root cause. It’s not that mouse and keyboard freeze, but no window (not even on login screen) recognises mouse input. Keyboard input works fine.

Best regards

I'm sorry, it's not. My USB hub is fried.
