Annoying keyboard lag

giulio · 2022-12-15 10:42:35

Hi everyone!
I re-installed Arch Linux recently and I'm only using my laptop's built-in keyboard. Every time I stop typing for a minute or maybe even less, there is a lag when I start typing again. This is for all applications. I already tried playing around with the `xset` parameters but that doesn't solve the problem. I have found some other threads online but they mainly deal with external keyboards.

screenfetch -n

Why does it list sudo as your shell?

giulio · 2022-12-15 13:35:06

That's because I ran it with sudo screenfetch -n.
If I run it without sudo I get:

Shell: zsh 5.9

giulio, I may have the same issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293202, do you find any solution?

every 4,5s the keyboard input will be lag behind around 1s

Once i boot in the DE (sddm) the keyboard lagging is still there and the mouse lagging is horrible making the mouse almost unusable.
I tried to use an external USB keyboard and mouse they also show the same issue.

Did you test the LTS kernel?

ngochai · 2024-02-27 14:43:02

@seth
I did try the lts kernel, it does not help.

Have you tried booting into another distro with a live USB stick?
Can you boot into your Arch installation media and see if it happens?
Can you do an ALT + CTRL + F4 to see if it happens in a console?
Does anything show up in your logs?

seth · 2024-02-28 08:16:47

@andyturfer, I don't think ngochai faces the same situation as the OP.
