Keyboard and Mouse unresponsive randomly during session

My keyboard and mouse become unresponsive at a random point during a session. Fixed on reboot, but then becomes unresponsive again at a random point. This happens with external mice and keyboard (wired or BT), as well as the built-in laptop keyboard. The only thing that will work is my touchpad, which I can use to reboot the laptop. This occurred after a recent update after not updating the system since the beginning of Feb.

adding it here too Will need the whole log sudo dmesg | fpaste journalctl | fpaste Add it here If journalctl is too big write it to a file and upload elsewhere journalctl > ~/journal.log Should put it in your home folder so you can upload it, but try fpaste first

very much so

HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
you got a file made at least of it from when it just happened? perfect lets see do you happen to have the estimated time it happened? then i can skip to around that time in the log
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago
10:35-10:45

hey @antheas when youre free, do you see anything that stands out here or anything else we can grab? all i see in dmesg is the usb devices randomly disconnect πŸ€” yeah i saw the shutdown πŸ™‚
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago

Maybe it's the 6.13 USB bug people are talking about
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
oh boy 6.13 just keep on giving doesnt it :clueless:
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago
heres a bit further of a look back
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
will give it a look, if i find nothing i can find you the newest image without kernel 6.13 and you can see if that still has the issue @MrSujano run rpm-ostree status and take note of the version you have that is working then bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 41.20250227 to go to the last version with kernel 6.12 and stay there (you will not get updates past this point unless you rebase back to stable). to go back to the latest stable run bazzite-rollback-helper rebase stable

Will roll back to 6.12 - thanks! this I think is one of my favourite features of Bazzite/Atomic. So easy to roll back without breaking stuff
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
yeah it is, i used it on my htpc back when it used RX570 as the gpu was broken for the longest time in gamescope so i had to stay a whole fedora version behind for months πŸ˜…
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago
Rolled back and everything seems fine now - thank you very, very much for your time and help!

run sudo ostree admin pin 0 to pin the image, that way you can make sure you can keep that image if this takes a long time to fix. but i suspect it might be the usb bug antheas mentioned so you can try rebasing back to stable after a period and see if the issue still happens, and then rollback with rpm-ostree rollback if it still isnt fixed
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago
will do, it's such a weird issue. Fortunately everything else is pretty rock solid
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
and you can unpin the image once its fixed with sudo ostree admin pin --unpin 1 replace 1 with 2 if it says 1 is already unpinned or you can just grab the index of the pinned image with rpm-ostree status -v yeah at least you can lock yourself to a working image while kernel people figure out the issue πŸ™‚

Revisiting this one - Interestingly, it turns out it was the discord app. Uninstalling the app and logging in through the web seems to have fixed the issue after updating the the latest stable bazzite. completely bizzare
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
huh, thats a new one :clueless: i love technology!
MrSujano
MrSujanoOPβ€’2mo ago
I'm absolutely baffled. Ah well, web browser discord is fine
HikariKnight
HikariKnightβ€’2mo ago
let me baffle you some more then! i had a windows application crash in my windows VM for the past 2 weeks because of a bug in the linux kernel :huh: workaround for the time being is to add a kernel argument until the fix is merged upstream maybe try discord canary?
