Update: Issue disappeared without doing anything. After just letting my computer sit turned off for a few hours I started it back up to troubleshoot. Now it works again. Something happened to break it and then to unfuck it again without any input from me. Something is unstable and I’m gonna try to figure it out.

Started my PC up today, logged in like normal, but my keyboard wont work after logging in. Except for the calculator button. None of the keys will actually do anything. But logging in works normally.

Worked fine last night, no updates have run or anything. Where to start diagnosing this? In a way where I won’t need a keyboard?

Fedora 42 KDE

Edit: Keyboard works fine in a live environment on the USB I used to install yesterday. Tried a different keyboard on my main install, and that didn’t work either. So it’s not the keyboard itself at least

    Logi MX Keys S.

    I had an update available today(after this issue). Ran it but it didn’t fix the issue sadly.

      Okay, so let’s try connectit via BT as a test at least. You said it wasn’t showing up in your BT menu, check this out.

      The other thing here is that this is a wireless-only key card, so you’ve got a potential HID configuration problem because of that receiver. The fact that you can actually login first, THEN it stops working tells me it’s something like this. The fact it works fine on LiveUSB screams settings/config issue. You may need that LiveUSB again to go in and chroot some stuff away.

        It just works again after the computer being shut off for a few hours. I did quite a few restarts earlier today that didn’t help so something isn’t right. I’m thinking there’s something broken with the HID config myself.

        If I was on Windows I’d reinstall the driver, check chipset driver etc. maybe check if there’s something wrong with Logitech’s software. I’ll do some digging now that I have a keyboard again to see how if I find anything.

            Yeah, all my settings are the same as when it didn’t work.

            Does linux do any driver check or something when booting?

              Every boot, but it won’t automatically change any settings by interacting with any of them. Gotta be something in userspace, or just the hardware acting up. Maybe change the batteries 😂

                I’m almost scared of my computer now. This is the weirdest thing I have seen so far on Linux.

                I’m guessing something crashed or whatever. Settings are just like they were with no changes.

                Maybe I should just get a wired keyboard 😂
