[SOLVED] - Mouse and keyboard freeze - possible X problems?

[bag]

All,

Am having some real problems with a new install of Kubuntu 10.10 64 bit - and would appreciate your help. This is my first 64bit install - although I've been using 32 bit versions of Linux for over four years now.

The install went fine, as did the updates - although the updates seem to have broken the very nice boot splash screen. I now have a text-based version of the Kubuntu boot splash. This is not a real problem though (unless it is a cause or symptom of my major problem).

The major problem is that my mouse and keyboard freeze up - constantly and without warning. And I am unable to do a lot about it. It happens randomly, and can vary in time from several seconds after boot (before even logging in on one occasion) to about 10 or 15 minutes of usage, although if I do not use the mouse and keyboard and let music play with Amarok, it will quite happily work along fine until I start using the mouse and keyboard again - at which point it will freeze up at some random time afterwards.

I have a wireless mouse and keyboard combo that are plugged into the PS/2 ports. The same happens though for wired USB mice and keyboards, which I've also tried.

Typically, what happens is this:

When using the mouse - moving it generally, not often when clicking something -the mouse will freeze. I will be unable to move the pointer at all. However, the keyboard is still usable for a short while afterwards. For example, I am able to navigate quickly through screens or programs using keyboard shortcuts. Then, a short time later (usually no more than a minute or two once the mouse has stopped) the keyboard stops working too.

Plugging in a USB mouse or keyboard in addition to the PS/2 ones then allows the USB versions to be used for a short while. I then need to reboot in order to get back functionality. Leaving the USB mouse and keyboard in for a while and continuing to use the PC will mean that within five minutes or so, the USB versions no longer work - and then I really am stuck. Unplugging keyboards and mice and plugging them back in results in no change. I am then stuck with a PC that has no access via mouse or keyboard. There does not seem to be any connection between the keyboard and the PC - so, for example, the magic sys-req key combos don't seem to work.

So effectively, what happens is that every time I get a freeze, I plug in a USB mouse and use it to reboot the machine. Unless I'm quick, and use the USB mouse to do a reboot via the GUI, the whole thing seizes up and it results in a need to do a hard reboot. This is not good for my ext4 filesystem... (and I get a lot of complaints from the system when rebooting!). Generally, I only need to do a hard reboot if the machine is doing something (like installing updates) and I am forced to wait longer than a couple of minutes for it to finish before I am able to reboot... by then, the USB mouse has frozen and I am no longer able to have any control.

Using the USB mouse to log out and trying again doesn't work. Even after logging out, the PS/2 mouse and keyboard no longer work. It seems that only a reboot will work. I presume at this point that killing X and restarting might work - although I'm not sure how to do that from a GUI with only a working mouse. Is that possible? How could I check?

I'm semi-competent with Linux, and am happy to bash away at the CLI, so please treat any responses as such. I just want to get this resolved. My shiny new 64bit install looks great, and I really want to play with it - but it just keeps freezing up on me. I've not been able to play any more than a couple of minutes at a time, so far.

One of the areas I'm not good at (and please feel free to point me in the right direction here) is in terms of knowing which logs to look in for errors and what to start looking for. I have a sneaking suspicion that all this is to do with the X server - but don't know where to look or what to look for. How can I check? And are the logs still there after reboot? - I don't have time to check them before rebooting because it's likely that I will be frozen out. Where can I find the relevant logs? And what details should I be looking for?

Any help you can give me would be most useful.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Mouse and keyboard freeze - possible X problems?

Did you perchance trying running a Kubuntu Live CD for 30 or 45 minutes, before installing? If you did not, it might be instructive to try that, and see whether the freeze happens while in Live CD mode.

Also, if your computer is a standard model (i.e. "store bought", not "home built") you might search the Ubuntu forums with the model number, to see whether other folks have observed the problem.

We'll need to see your hardware and probably the dmesg output.

lsusb

will show the USB devices.

lspci

will show the PCI bus which undoubtedly includes your USB controller.

lsmod

will show the drivers being used.

dmesg

shows the boot sequence.

The X server log is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. After a freeze, reboot to Recovery Console, and then copy that file somewhere -- maybe a USB stick. It should show what happened in the prior X session.

Post those outputs and maybe we can sort it.

Have you tried, after a freeze, the "magic" SysRq sequence? Hold down the Alt and the SysRq keys, and while holding them down, press R S E I U B in sequence.

Dibl,

Many thanks for responding. Much appreciated.

Right then, some printouts and reports for you... below, in one go are the results to the following: lspci, lsusb, lsmod and dmesg

Re: Mouse and keyboard freeze - possible X problems?

All,

Apologies for the delay - it's been a while since I added info to this one... just that since I am lucky enough to have another system at the moment that I can work on, this issue has not been top of the list of things to get done...

Right then - I've rebooted again into the LiveCD of Kubuntu10.10 and I experience the same problem as with the installed system. That is, within about 5 minutes, my mouse freezes and is no longer operable. Inserting an alternative USB mouse allows me to use the system for approximately another five or so minutes before that freezes too - resulting in a requirement to reboot. Ditto with the keyboard. The keyboard always seems to take a little longer than the mouse to freeze up - but it does...

How does this happen? I mean, who ever heard of a mouse not working!?? And in a liveCD environment too?

I refuse to believe that I have such obscure hardware that this is an issue only for me - something (fairly) simple must just be going wrong. Any ideas?

Tonight I will try out an alternative (non Ubuntu-based) LiveCD and see if I experience the same issues - although somehow, I'm not expecting it... Still, will let you all know.

In the meantime, any ideas that you have about how I might resolve this, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Bag.

Re: Mouse and keyboard freeze - possible X problems?

OK, so just a quick update.

I've now tried it with Fedora - and it does not appear to have the same issues at all. However, trying with Mint does show up the same problems.

So, potentially it could be just an issue with Ubuntu and its variants.

Does this narrow down the problem for anyone? Any ideas on where I can start searching for more information for you all?

Thanks,

Bag.

Re: Mouse and keyboard freeze - possible X problems?

Solved.

Something simple really - ain't it always?

The Logitech mouse and keyboard combo in question can connect with both a USB and PS/2 connectors. I had previously got them connected with PS/2. Don't know why - just habit I suppose. That and the fact that long ago (and we're talking five years ago I think), USB wireless keyboards and mice didn't always autoprobe correctly when booting into Linux. So back then it was better to always use PS/2 connectors since you were guaranteed a working mouse and keyboard.

Anyway, I changed the connector to the USB plug and it works fine. Not frozen once in about 20 days now that I've had the whole system reinstalled - (and yes, it did freeze with the PS/2 connectors once I'd gone to the bother of reinstalling it - but never once since I changed to USB).

Anyway - long story short - using the USB connector provides no problems and solves the issue.

Don't know why PS/2 connectors cause problems with *buntu editions and nothing else - but it does. Obviously a bug - but I suspect that it's one that will not be looked at too heavily... PS/2 is on the way out and all that...

So, solved. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks.
