[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1797301] Re: Keyboard input stops being processed entirely

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1797301] Re: Keyboard input stops being processed entirely
Suggestions: 1. Disable all extensions and tell us if the problem then goes away: b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled-extensions' b"['foo', 'hams...@projecthamster.wordpress.com', 'gTile@vibou']" 2. Try logging in to "Ubuntu on Wayland" tell us if that avoids the problem. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1797301 Title: Keyboard input stops being processed entirely Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: From time-to-time, when using cosmic, my keyboard presses will no longer register.

Is there anything specific that I can do to capture more information when this happens again? Browsing through the systemd journal didn't reveal anything obvious, but I don't necessarily know what to look for. -- 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/1797301 Title: Keyboard input stops being processed entirely Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: From time-to-time, when using cosmic, my keyboard presses will no longer register.
