Details
In the virtual consoles (VC/1, VC/2, etc...), keypresses get
lost. I have to repeadtly tap my keyboard before the
keypress gets recognised.
Either the VC's are not registering my keypresses, or aren't doing anything with it. It seems to have a occured after a pacman -Syu, and then a reboot. These packages were upgraded: db (4.2.52-1 -> 4.2.52.2-2) dbus (0.23-1 -> 0.23-2) sed (4.1.2-2 -> 4.1.3-1) vte (0.11.11-2 -> 0.11.11-3) vte may be the source of the problems, but I currently can't find the 0.11.11-2 package file. It seems to be entirely random, for example, I enter ls and only the l or the s shows up. Same thing for tab and backspace. So far the entire keyboard seems to be affected. The weird part about this all is that in X, everything works fine, and running an ncurses applications like irssi works fine too. To my knowledge only the terminal VC1, VC2, ... are affected. I do have a /dev/vc and /dev/vcc device. I am using a compaq armada m 700 laptop. It is certainly *NOT* a hardware problem, the problem persists using an USB keyboard. Do note I am using my own kernel build, based on kernel 2.6.9. I used the stock archlinux config file, and only added support for software suspend. If you need more information, don't hesitate to contact me. |

I am submitting an additional bug report about another related dbus issue. It is a 100% reproduceable loss of keystrokes in the keyboard buffer, unlike this one where it is random.
Please note that when I restarted X, my "random keypresses missing" problem went away. The "keyboard buffer being erased on login" problem was due to the dbus.sh script.
Hope that might help.
