Laggy mouse in KDE after recent update

cloverskull · 2023-10-21 03:03:47

Hey friends,

I've checked my journal and dmesg and haven't figured out what could be causing this, but after a recent update, my mouse cursor is a bit laggy. It's interesting, when I first boot into Plasma, the mouse cursor works as expected, but then after a few seconds it starts the laggy behavior. Very odd.

Actually, it seems like the laggy periods are intermittent, lasting for a minute or so.

Additionally it's worth mentioning I use a trackpad.

-- edit --

I can temporarily get the cursor to move as expected if I run

# /usr/bin/udevadm control --reload
# /usr/bin/udevadm trigger

Did you already tried with a mouse?

I've checked my journal and dmesg and haven't figured out what could be causing this

1. the kernel ringbuffer is actually copied in the system journal
2. but you expect others to tell you what's wrong w/ the system without any logs or even information about the HW and SW besides "plasma" and "I use a trackpad"?

Like the relevant bus, display server, input drivers, power saving efforts, other devices on the bus and maybe even actually relevant error messages?

Ok. I'll try the best I can do.
Errhemmm…

It's broken. You need to buy a new computer.

Ha, yeah, I guess that was a pretty low effort first post

Interestingly this appears to have magically gone away. *shrug*

I think it's probably safe to close this out and treat it like an anomaly. I did recently take another update and perhaps that fixed everything. Who knows.
