F41 installation issue on Framework 16 laptop: stuck keyboard input (solution)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been using a Framework 16 laptop that was originally installed with F40 and updated to F41 (XFCE Spin), without any issues. I just ran into a hillarious installation issue, posting it here in order to feed the search engines.

I just received a second Framework 16, so I fed the F41 XFCE spin image to it. After booting it the keyboard responsiveness was horrible. Typed text took 5-10 seconds to be echoed back in the terminal, or in Anaconda.

I thought I had a hardware issue, I even took it apart again, and reseated the keyboard connector, no dice. Still lagging. But when I booted to a grub prompt, the keyboard was perfectly normal.

I booted back into the live image. Eventually I had a Eureka moment: I have to keep the mouse moving, constantly, in order for I/O processing to occur. I can type ahead, then touch the touchpad, and all the buffered input got echoed back immediately. Some further experimentation I determined that not only keyboard input, but also some display refreshing gets stuck until I manually move the mouse.

The kernel that's shipping with the F41 live images is a dud. I ran the Anaconda installer (constantly twiddling the touchpad to keep everything moving), then rebooted (the problem remained), then dnf-update-d. After rebooting into the latest kernel, 6.11.10, everything was working fine.
