FYI: I started seeing similar issues around the time I made ~/.cache into a symlink. Something like .cache/huggingface can be hundreds of gigabytes (and individual tools like whisper can be large as well). As people start to use machine learning workflows, this is likely to impact more and more users, as there are good reasons not to keep cached models on the same drive as everything else.
FWIW, this is almost impossible to debug: 1) I made this change at the same time as a system upgrade, and thought that was connected. It's by complete fluke I found this 2) On my system, the behavior is not exclusive to snaps. Evince doesn't take keyboard input either, but can be hacked with IBUS_USE_PORTAL=1. I have not confirmed whether this is the same issue, but it feels identical. 3) This is not the only keyboard issue. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1509058/input-delay-on-terminal- ubuntu-22-04-4 These kinds of issues interplay in ways which make debugging very hard. <rant> Perhaps my memory is tinted, but I don't recall ever running into these sorts of bugs on Ubuntu, or Debian before that, prior to around 2010. All these changes (X11 -> Wayland, apt -> snap, init.d -> a swarm of replacements, window managers -> all-in-one Gnome, etc.) all feel like second system effect and churn rather than progress. I can think of dozens of ways what was there could have been incrementally improved (rather than wrapped or replaced). Those ships have sailed, but I wish we could just take a while to fix bugs, and to streamline / simplify / pay off technical debt rather than to add more features. </rant> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026758 Title: Bug #2008279 reappears (loss of keyboard input for x11 snaps) if ~/.cache is a symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2026758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
