Cursor stuck at a point and doesn't move

stygian1337 · 2023-06-17 21:52:27

Hello,
I am using kde plasma on arch linux. Some times mysteriously my laptop's cursor just stuck on the screen doesn't move. When I try to move my finger on the touch pad, the cursor start to copy the text(due to recurring clicks), but it doesn't move. After restarting my system, it just works fine.

here is my dmesg since boot.

The dmesg is full of pci errors on your NICs and ultimately

What's your (wayland) compositor?
Does restarting that suffice (instead of a reboot)?
There might be power saving issues, maybe try "pcie_aspm=off", https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

I am not using wayland(It was causing issues for virtualbox machines), so am using Xorg.
Please tell me what should I do?

Start by answering the questions?
Wayland or not, there's a oops triggered by

[23180.382164] CPU: 1 PID: 29611 Comm: Compositor Tainted: G W IOE 6.3.3-arch1-1 #1 fa7b7e0107004b3021a57a74b951e0a25e7e8584

which sounds likey your desktop session might be relevant.
Also
