I don't have that "solution" for you, Hans. 

I was looking here (perhaps related to your woes)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1633721

and here

https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111=153312

where they've arrived at the conclusion it's an ibus issue (fix
included).

Good luck.

My customers surely do not want to. IMO TDE is too old, although running well. 
Plasma is just offering more. Sorry for that.

There are none, better say: I found none.

This happens with notebooks, so changing the keyboard is not possible.

The solution I am looking for, is: How to reload the responsible keyboard 
module in plasma?

the very reason to stay with KDE3 aka TDE.

Did you look for error messages - post here and also the reference to the
bug. probably it is udev -> dbus -> plasma  but it is amateurs guess.

I see issues with some cheep kvm, mice and keayboards from time to time,
which the kernel manage to work around. Might be you are not so lucky.

plasma5 - howto reload keyboard module?

2019-03-13 Thread Hans
Hi folks, 

from time to time I get into an issue in plasma5 (and only in plasma5). The 
problem is, that without an obvious reason suddenly the keyboard is no more 
working. No input is possible. The mouse is working.

Question: Is there any possibilty to reload the keyboard module (I do not 
know, if plasma is using the kernel module or its own) without completely 
restarting plasma5?

As I have some unexperienced customers with the same problem,  my idea was, to 
create a button, where they can click on, so that the keyboard is loaded 
again. Thios would be the smallest annoying solution. Thus I have to know, how 
the keyboard can be restarted.

Any ideas?

Oh, this behaviour is happening since years, and somewhere there is even a 
bugreport of this, but no one ever cared. So I am looking for another 
solution.

Thanks for reading and any help.

Best regards

Hans
