I have the same issue. My keyboard freeze very frequently. However, my mouse keeps working.
To find out the problem I have changed the OS from Linux Mint to Zorin. The problem did not go away (both ubuntu based). Also I called a technician. He said there were issues with one of my HDD, I sent it to the warranty. I found that keyboard can also freeze due to high temperature of CPU. Though my CPU temperature almost never exceeds 50 degree, we cleaned the fan and others (Because of these, I could not use my machine for few days. this is why the delay to respond your query). I ran `sudo apt remove ibus`. The issue is still there. However, `killall -3 gnome-shell` helps. Anyways, I got `journalctl --since "10min ago" -f` output during freeze (somehow the command was initiated during freeze). The output is given bellow. It is a ~3000 line log saved in https://pastebin.com/taawktGa Please help me find a solution for this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807056 Title: Occasional Keyboard freeze Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/907 --- I am using 18.04 and sometimes, whatever I type does not work.
