Description of problem: I am using Mageia 6 xfce. I usually use the external keyboard and mouse for my laptop. When I boot into Mageia I am not able to type my log in password as the keyboard doesn't respond. This happens when I start my laptop with keyboard plugged into my laptop via USB. When I remove the USB and re-insert again it works, though. But, not until I remove it and reinsert. This problem doesn't occur on other distros and my laptop is brand new (no problem with the hardware). I thought it could be a bug and hence am reporting it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I´m experiencing similar problems. My PC boots w/o problems, but when my second hdd is plugged in, the PC says, no bootable device. I have to plug the keybord in and out and in and out, too, to dismiss the message and it boots right away.

similar problems with USB mouse : I am using Mageia 6 kde. When I boot into Mageia, the usb mouse doesn't respond. When I remove the USB and reinsert it again, it works fine. power/control is auto .. if i put on it is ok : echo 'on' |sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-1/2-1.3/power/control

I am now on mageia v7.

I am > now on mageia v7. Some updates: 1. I tested it on a different partition running mga v6 x64 on the same computer with the problematic mga v7 installation and everything is fine there - even with the latest kernel update. 2. I am now trying to bisect the kernel versions of the upstream kernel.org's 4.9.x kernels to see where the problem happened and will try to report on my progress. This is going to be a long week...
Hi all! I have some news - I tested my problematic mga7 system with kernel 4.9.0 and it too was faulty (as well as some later kernels in 4.9.x). It was released on Dec 2016 (see https://lwn.net/Articles/708766/ ) and predated mga6 by over 7 months - https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/07/16/announcing-mageia-6/ - and I recall it being fine in Cauldron then with it, then I conclude that the kernel isn't the problem.
i created usb-power.rules with : #Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="093a", ATTR{idProduct}=="2510", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="on" but same problem ..

Thanks for testing :-) Assuming that if it isn't a kernel problem, that it must be a base system problem, so assigning to the base system maintainers.

Hi all! I've now tested starting wayland first - with plasma5 - and ran into the same problem and workaround.
Some news: after disabling gpm (using "systemctl disable gpm.service" as root), rebooting, and starting JWM using startx, the mouse is working for a short while, ending when i start a konsole session or before that. After killing X and starting JWM again, the mouse works again. In Plasma 5, the mouse never works until reconnecting it.
Seems like https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20856 is an earlier report of these same symptoms.

some news ? thank you !
I've now tested this with libinput-1.7.0 and it still happens with it.
Some news: today I had to hard reboot due to an OOM failure, losing about 8 days of uptime, but after I rebooted and started xfce using startx, the mouse works well. I am on mga7/cauldron x64.
