[Solved] pushing any key on keyboard crashes KDE

I just did a -Syu, and therefore am running the latest Kernel, xorg server and KDE. I use nvidia. X loads up, KDE come up, music plays... I push any button on keyboard and *poof*, crash. I cannot get the keyboard or X or a command line back. I either ssh into it and reboot, or hit the hardware reset button.

This is the Xorg.0.log tail end

I do not have this problem if I use xfce4. Using the mouse in KDE works fine... until I push a keyboard button.

Thanks for any help and guidance.

Re: [Solved] pushing any key on keyboard crashes KDE

You can temparily solve this segfault, if you deactivate keyboardlayouts in kde controlcenter (in regional settings).

Re: [Solved] pushing any key on keyboard crashes KDE

Moe, Thanks for the reply, sounds like you got sorted.  I tried that and did not have any success.

EDIT: actually, I think it did, but I had to do a complete reboot (after initial crash) for it to work. seems to have worked thanks for the tip.

Re: [Solved] pushing any key on keyboard crashes KDE

I noticed that I had problems with X segfaulting after upgrading to xorg-server 1.4.0.90-8.  After completely rebuilding the system I was having the same problem.  moe's suggestion worked, however X was still segfaulting.  I reverted back to xorg-server 1.4.0.90-6 and things seem to be fine.  I'm wondering if there's a problem with the 90-8 build.  I don't know if this helps anyone or not, but just thought I would mention it.
