chances for keyboard and mouse not work after login into gdm

giskard · 2023-02-19 05:52:30

1. power on the laptop, boot into gdm login screen

2. mouse and keyboard works well on gdm login screen

3. login, gnome promt with the workspace overview

3.1 if click mouse in the search entry in the overview, mouse and keyboard
will work well for this login

3.2 if just press esc to exit the overview, there is perhaps 1/3 chance that keyboard
will not work, and mouse can only move but no click. System works fine at the time,
I can login via ssh, and after the session get auto lock, the keyboard may come back
to work, but still no click for mouse.

here the log of `journalctl -b`: https://controlc.com/5ad1ace5
case for the log:
1. boot and login on gdm, then keyboard and mouse not work
2. login via ssh
3. keyboard works, but mouse still not work
4. restart gdm, login, mouse and keyboard not work
5. session auto lock after several minites,
6. wake the lock screen, keyboard works, mouse does not, login with keyboard
7. restart gdm with terminal
8. relogin, and click on the overview search entry, evrything works
9. report the issue with firefox

steps to recover keyboard and mouse without reboot:

1. restart gdm via ssh
2. login
3. click the search entry in gnome desktop overview screen
4. press esc

For anyone with the same issue, this might be caused by the missing of ibus, I'm using fcitx5 with gnome. and not ibus installed, it seems to work if ibus is installed

Have the same problem but my `journalctl -b` does not show any failures like yours does with ibus. I think this is because I can only login to cli Manjaro (no GUI). If I do it the normal way, my keyboard and mouse don't work on login screen. Any suggestions how to get around this and force the problem to reveal itself?

If the OPs problem was down to ibus and you don't have a problem w/ ibus (and it notably installed) then you're clearly NOT facing the same isse.
Also

I can only login to cli Manjaro
