Description William Kenney 2019-03-05 22:06:45 CET
Description of problem:

X86_64 Plasma

Only in a Vbox client. After install initially both the Keyboard and Mouse work
just fine. Sometimes, in a few minutes, the keyboard no longer responds while
the mouse still works. Situation occurs with both a wired and wireless USB
keyboard and mouse. Have not seen the situation on real hardware.

Only way out is to force reboot the Vbox client.

Hold action on this until M7 Beta 2 Release 3 Live media is released.

When that happens again then, after force-rebooting it, before it happens again, can you please run


    journalctl -ab -1 > log.txt


and attach log.txt to this bug report

Note the "-1" in that command, that is important to get the logs of the _previous_ boot.

journalctl - lost keyboard connection

Somewhere around Mar 06 11:01:01 is when I lost connection with the keyboard.
Mouse continued to work properly.
Some pretty ugly errors around 11:01:39

The first time I noticed it was when I opened a terminal and the keyboard
would not put text in the terminal.

This is still an issue.
It is not a release blocker
I have found that once booting into the client and having no keyboard response
or losing keyboard by simply completely getting out of the client and back in
the problem goes away. Sometimes perminately, sometimes not.
