[SOLVED] keyboard isn't working in DEs

wcyat · 2023-12-06 11:23:32

Just today my keyboard fails to input anything in KDE and GNOME. Mouse and some keys like alt+f4 works. (Noteworthy: keyboard works totally fine in tty as well as weston). After installing ibus and removing fcitx5 I managed to type in gnome, but not kde. But I have no idea how to diagnose this problem, could I use some help?

Start w/ the display server: X11 or wayland?
For X11, please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
For wayland, try X11 first.

But apparently your IM is relevant, so I'd look at the system journal and for the KDE session and see whether it complains about anything.

What's the systemd journal target for kde?

Please post your complete system journal for a boot covering the incident:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

I think it has something to do with the configs since it works when I point HOME to an empty directory.

After binary searching, I have identified the problem to be located at ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/kdesnapassist/. After removing the directory, the problem disappeared. Thanks seth. Gotta report an issue to its github...
