General :: KDE4 Up-key Stops Working Sporadically
Aug 23, 2010
I'm running KDE 4.4.5 under Debian testing/unstable (squeeze/sid), and while I am in KDE, sometimes, my "up-arrow" key stops working.The only keyboard events I've remapped are <printscreen>, <ctrl>+<pagedown>, and <alt>+<pagedown> When I logout of KDE, and am in KDM, the offending key works again.When I <alt><ctrl><Fn> to a virtual terminal, while still logged in to KDE, the offending key works.
XEV run while the key does not work *does* register the keystroke, it just seems to me that, for whatever reason, KDE is not dealing with the keystroke.It seems to me that the only solution is to logout and login again.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R500, and recently I recently upgraded it with a Crucial SSD as well as 8 GB of DDR3, as I had a blank SSD installed, I decided to switch from Mint to Debian and see how I like it. I'm using Debian 8 with the MATE desktop and so far it's been quite a pleasure to use, besides one small thing.
Every 5 to 10 minutes, DNS resolution stops working completely. I can ping IP addresses as well as connect to websites by IP address just fine, however I cannot resolve hostnames. The problem exists regardless of whether I'm connected to my router via a wired or wireless connection. It is not occurring on any other computer in my house and didn't exist on my old Mint installation. If I disconnect from my home network by either unplugging the Ethernet cable or flicking the WIFI switch on my laptop, and then reconnecting, I can resolve hostnames again, albeit only for another 5-10 minutes, when DNS stops working again.
I was originally using DHCP and my ISP's DNS servers, but switched to my laptop using a static IP address and Google's DNS Servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, the problem persisted after this change.

i got the following issue. I have Ubuntu 9.10 (x64) on an AMD Phenom II X4 with a Gigabyte mainboard (chipset AMD 785G) and a SATA II hard disk. Kernel version is 2.6.31-17-generic. After selecting Ubuntu from grub boot menu, I get a black screen and that's basically it.
This is a snipplet from syslog:
Code:
Jan 28 16:46:19 mind-the-gap kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /var/run/rsyslog/kmsg started.
Jan 28 16:46:19 mind-the-gap rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="862" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] (re)start
[code]....
The odd think is, that this happens just from time to time (~50% of all boot attempts). Booting into failsave mode does work every time. Booting an older kernel (not failsave) doesn't work every time either.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64-bit on my desktop with a wired internet connection (with no firewall). For the past 2 days, I have observed that1. Firefox randomly throws up errors like "Problem loading page" whenever I click on a hyperlink. When I click on Reload, the page loads up just fine. This has been happening a lot recently..and I do not remember updating anything consciously. By the way, ipv6 is disabled in Firefox.2. The network stops working all of a sudden (usually indicated by the Firefox error). The Autho Eth0 indication is active, but I am unable to connect to any external machine.
3. Needless to say, this error is manifesting itself in apt-get as well. I get "something wicked happened" errors all the time, and am unable to download or install anything.That this is not a problem with the ISP is obvious because I also have Windows (from which I'm typing this, ironically), which is able to access the internet.Is this a bug in Ubuntu 10.10?

Something weird sometimes happens on my Debian system. Typically at the prompt line I can use combo like alt-d to delete a word, alt-f to go to the next word, etc. But quite regularly something happens in my xterm that makes alt-d and alt-f not work anymore: suddenly they print 'ä' (alt-d) and 'æ' (alt-f).
Note that this happens in a terminal that was acting like I wanted to at first. But then somehow must send a code or something that changes the behavior of the terminal. It happens in xterm because that's where I always work. If I go to a console by doing ctrl+alt+f1 then by default alt-d does what I want (delete word) and so does alt-f. Maybe that I could screw that one too by doing some bad manipulation: I just don't know because I don't work in text mode.
Also note that if I spawn an xterm from the "broken" xterm, then the new xterm work as I expect. What is going on? What am I turning on that was off previously? My .Xresources says that and, once again, when I open an xterm it behaves as I expect it, it's only later on that "something" makes that it goes back to broken "I-print-characters-with-diacritics-and-other-nonsense" mode:
$ more .Xresources
XTerm.vt100.eightBitInput: false
XTerm*eightBitInput: False

v been trying to fix this for a few days now, and the stress has been building up. I have searched for hours on end trying to fix my sound, and If i can't fix it soon ill have to spend another few hours going back to Windows XP even though i wiped my harddrive for Linux Ubuntu 9.1.My issue is, that my sound changes from what it should be, to a dummy stereo output sound. Which i dont know how to fix. I'd be incredibly happy if someone could give me a link to a tutorial for dummys,

I am currently dual booting between Linux Mint 10, and Windows Vista SP2. Wireless works fine in both these OSes, but when I quit Mint and load Windows, 70% of the time my wireless stops working.
ie, it does not detect any wireless networks nearby, althought there are tons of them.
Restarting the wireless device doesnt help, I have to restart my computer at least 4 times for wireless to start working again.
And as of now, my wireless in Linux Mint has stopped working.

I have installed openSUSE and everything is fine except one issue.The screen goes black and audio cuts off for like a second and comes right back. It happens sporadically once or twice here then some times a few times repeatedly.Running openSUSE 11.2 Drivers from the NVIDIA Repository.(For my GTS 250)Stripped the audio flags from the EDID for my tv to prevent trying to send audio over hdmi (I'm not using the hdmi pass through on my video card) so i can use the audio out on my sound card.No error messages are displayed when it blankslspci output:

There is a thread for 11.3 with problems on window deco with compiz Compiz - no window decorations for compiz in 11.3, kde4I thought I might start one for 11.4.11.4 KDE4.6.0 64-bits.I have posted in the above link, saying what I did and also why I need compiz and not kwin as my window manager. This means KWin is not a replacement for me.So I wonder if anyone got compiz working with any of the window deco in 11.4 KDE4.6?Other option I could post errors I get when I start kde4-window-decorator inside compiz. No I cannot use emerald (it's my favorite) cuz as explained in the above post, the basic package does not seem to exist in any repo so far (for 11.4). Not sure if I can compile it yet, might want to take a look at that as well.

needed was working either out of the box or with the addition of a few slackbuilds from Slackbuilds.orgOne or two problems which I will make separate posts for :Problem with the samba client - my home server has a large samba share on it that I need to access from teh laptop that is running 13.1. If I type smb:/ into the dolphin or konqueror address bar, I get to see the network and the servers. I even see the shared folder on the server. However, on trying to open this folder I get : Quote:The process for the smb://<my-server-name> protocol died suddenlyI know that the server is serving OK, because from the command line I can do a

There seems to be something that has changed in the newest stable Debian - I chose kde4 as my default desktop at installation, and it worked fine. Then I went and changed some options in both /var/run/kdm/kdmrc and /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc, something I have done many times before without problems.
However, when I tried to restart kdm with /etc/init.d/kdm, things didn't come up - no X, no kdm. When I rebooted the machine everything seemed fine, so I thought the problem was solved; but this morning I wanted to change something else - I don't want kdm to remember the last user, and I don't want to see a list of users either. Now dkm and X fail even when I reboot; I also find that /var/run/kdm/kdmrc has disappeared - I am certain I didn't remove it.
The strange thing, when I try /etc/init.d/kdm, I can kdm hanging around all alone in the process list, but no X or greeter. So what is going on - what should I have done instead? And can I repair it? I can of course reinstall the system, but I hate to think that we can't manage better in Linux.

I am using openSUSE 11.2 x64 with KDE 4.3.5.I am experiencing sudden, sporadic drops in performance due to the kwin and Xorg processes suddenly consuming large amounts of CPU for a few minutes (maybe 30-40% each) before dropping back to normal (1-3% each). I am seeing this using top.

I have a new system with Asus M3A78-EM mobo, 4 GB RAM, AMD Phenom II quad-core 955 3.2 GHz CPU, on which I've installed the 64-bit version of openSUSE 11.2. It's a lightweight server as well as a desktop machine, and is on 24/7 (and on a UPS). The problem is that the system reboots itself spontaneously, on average a couple of times a day, at seemingly random times. After one of these reboots, an examination of the system log shows nothing at all suspicious logged in the minutes prior to the sudden reboot. Sometimes the system recovers after the reboot, but about half the time the KDE4 desktop comes up with the keyboard and mouse not working. The system log in that case shows that the USB subsystem is wedged, with the message "task khubd:38 blocked for more than 120 seconds", followed by a series of call traces. At that point, I can usually log in via SSH from another local machine and execute a shutdown/reboot, and the system usually recovers fully after that... until the next spontaneous reboot. The only thing unusual about my USB setup is that I have a Hauppauge HVR-1950 TV tuner plugged in, and the pvrusb2 driver installed on the system.
The mobo has an onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphic controller, and I installed the proprietory ATI driver for it in the hopes of improving system stability. It didn't.
Due to the lack of syslog warnings before one of these reboot events, I was inclined to think the hardware was at fault, and my first thought was bad memory. However, fairly extensive testing with memtest86+ showed no errors. Of course, it could be other more obscure hardware problems, but it would be nice to be a little more certain before I resort to replacing the motherboard or the whole system.
Other info... booting in failsafe mode doesn't seem to cure the problem. Setting acpi=off in the boot menu doesn't seem to help either. There are some suspicious things in the boot log, though, such as:
My system does not have ECC memory, so it is indeed properly disabled in my BIOS. Again, I see discussions of this bug(?) on the net, but little indication of whether it is anything serious.
At this point, I'm running out of ideas... I'm still not sure whether the hardware or openSUSE 11.2 are at fault, and I don't want to give up on either prematurely.

I use my debian machine for masquerading, packet filtering anilar for a tiny network.It runs the latest debian testing.Every now and then (i am talking about weeks) the connection to my internet stops working.ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 brings it back.The other interface (eth1) is never effected.The odd thing is, there are no warnings, no messages .. nothing.I cant find any entry. Nothing in the logs, nothing in dmsg and no kernel panic.The only way to find out when it might have been happened is to search in several daemons log files,to find out when their first error connecting to the internet occurred.I ran memtest without any results.The nic is e1000 compatible.

I'm curious as to whether anyone else has experienced this, and has an explanation. I'm running Kile 2.0.85 under openSUSE 11.3 32-bit on a Lenovo X61. Twice in the past couple of days I've had the bizarre experience that, upon a sudden burst of typing my text has appeared in Kile in reverse order.
no ngis fo ecnacifingis eht fo redaer eht dnimer esaelp ,dniw cihportsoeG a htiw snoitalumis eht gnicudortni erehw ,Note the perfect reversal (I rarely type that accurately in forward mode). A day later it happened again: )1.3.5( noitceS fo hpargarap dnoces eht ni ,niaga ecnO.I've been using Kile for almost a year now, on two different machines and under several versions of openSUSE. Nothing remotely like this has happened before. I don't think I have a virus. I can't think of any event that may have heralded this mystical behaviour. Cheers, jdw

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop. The laptop has a single HDD with 2 partitions. Partition 1 has WindowsXP and partition 2 contains other data, among which the directory of the ubuntu installation. The partitions are formatted as NTFS. Ubuntu has been installed with wubi on the second partition. Ubuntu has been working fine for 2 days. Last night I updated the Ubuntu system and it required a restart. Needless to say, after the restart, grub wouldn't load. It just shows the shell.
I read the threads inside this forum and people usually manually select a kernel and boot up ubuntu, but when I do this, after I input all the commands I input "boot" and hit ENTER. The computer starts booting up until a point when it says ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist and something about using selection #1 and exits to shell (Easy Shell or Easy Boot, I can't remember exactly what it says... Easy something anyway) I've read that this is possibly caused by a NTFS dirty tag... but I do not see how to fix this problem.

I have read no fixes anywhere, oddly. This problem happened in 9.10 and seems to be back in 10.04. The fix on Ubuntu-Geek, which was re-posted various places, does not work either. However, I do know this is not a hardware issue... or think. I have a dual-boot with Windows 7 and it is not affected by this. Also, if I install anything 9.04 or earlier, this does not happen. Oddly, my netbook had 9.10 and now 10.04 but not this issue. Sadly I feel I must try other distros as this appears to be a Ubuntu specific error.

This is the first time I've got a major problem with Ubuntu (I started with version 5), and this one is particularly frustrating.I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my old (2007) desktop PC.Occasionally, but more and more often now, the keyboard just stops working. The mouse is still fine. When I shut down, I would sometime notice that the "stop crash report generation" process fails. Then the shutdown sequence stops at some point, and I am forced to do a hard shutdown, power down for a while, and reboot. If I don't wait after power off, the keyboard freeze would occur again at any time during the start up sequence. I even had a keyboard freeze after manually switching to the Windows boot.

if the computer sits for a length of time, not being used. I have not timed it, but around an hour it seems. All drop downs work, but whatever i click on doesn't do a thing so i can open the drop down to shut down but when i click on it it just sits there or if i try to open firefox or chrome it just sits there. if im browsing the web or playing a game for a couple hours everything works but it i leave it to do something else and it takes close to a hour, and i dont shut it down. It just stops working. then i have to kill the power to stop it.

I'm using Fedora 14, 64-bit. My wi-fi adapter is Intel 5100 AGN on a Lenovo laptop. The wi-fi router is Zyxel. From time to time, I'm getting a black message, that a kernel component has crashed (or something similar). Here are the error details:
Package: kernel
Latest Crash:Sun 20 Feb 2011 04:27:54 PM
Command: not_applicable
Reason: WARNING: at net/wireless/core.c:633 wdev_cleanup_work+0x52/0xbd [cfg80211]()
Comment: None
Bug Reports:
In most cases, after that, I'm loosing the internet connection. I can't open any website, can't ping the router (which is my default gateway) and now it happened even without any error, which really pissed me off. Logging out and back in doesn't help, I need to make a full reboot to get back my internet connection.
Under Windows 7 everything is working fine and I'm not having any trouble with the internet connectivity! I had Fedora 11 32-bit before and it was also working normally!

My USB mouse stops working sometimes after 5 mins, sometimes 30 mins. Used two different '"corded" USB mice, different USB ports. Same issue. The power to the mouse itself seems to turn off as the laser light is off. Unplugging and replacing does not fix, only a reboot. Same problem with Ubuntu and Mint.

Initially it was working fine after fedora 15 install.However recently it simply stops responding after a period of time.After reboot, sometimes it does repair itself but again stops working after some time.I'm not aware of any package updateperformed or configuration change that would have impacted it.And it does work intermittently as mentioned above

I recently compiled a new kernel (2.6.38.8) but it seems I forgot something. Right after grub, when the new kernel is selected (by using the keyboard), the keyboard stops working (it's on usb). When I select the old kernel everything is working nicely.
I actually used the config of the old kernel to configure the new one but excluded some modules before I finally compiled it. Now I'm asking myself which modul did I erroneously throw out?
Edit: A somewhat related question: Is there a log somewhere in the kernel source folder (or someplace else) which shows the kernel compilation process?

This is an intermittent problem. My mouse works on boot, but stops working periodically. Once it stops, I have to reboot the computer. The problem is more than a little annoying. My hardware and software is as follows:
*AMD Phenom X3
*Integrated geForce 8200 GS
*Opensuse 11.3 64-bit
*Mouse - microsoft wireless comfort mouse 2.0
*Keyboard - microsoft wireless comfort keyboard 1.0A
I am not sure what logs I should attach. The contents of /var/log/messages leading up to the mouse stopping is as follows:
Code:
