Bug ID: 494176
Summary: Keyboard lock when launching cloud gaming on Plasma
KDE 6.1.5
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-wayland-protocols
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dwarf.nor...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Description:
When trying to launch cloud gaming on Plasma KDE 6.1.5 in Arch Linux, the
keyboard is locked, which makes it impossible to continue using the system. The
keyboard stops responding to keystrokes, and switching to the English layout
does not help solve the problem. It is important to note that there are no such
problems in the Gnome graphics environment, and cloud gaming works without a
keyboard lock.
Steps for playback:
Install and run Plasma KDE 6.1.5 on Arch Linux.
Open a web browser [specify the browser you are using and its version] and
go to the site https://play.geforcenow.com .
Try to launch any game through the GeForce Now cloud service using the
client https://github.com/hmlendea/gfn-electron/releases [specify the client
version].
Observe the keyboard lock, in which keystrokes are not registered by the
system.
Try switching to the English keyboard layout.
Make sure that the problem persists and the keyboard remains locked.
Repeat steps 2-6 in the Gnome graphical environment [specify the Gnome
version] and make sure that the keyboard lock does not occur.
Expected result:
The keyboard should continue to function normally when launching cloud gaming,
allowing the user to interact with the system and games, regardless of the
graphics environment used.
The actual result:
In the Plasma KDE 6.1.5 graphical environment on Arch Linux, the keyboard locks
and stops responding to keystrokes, which makes it impossible to continue using
the system. In the Gnome graphical environment, keyboard locking does not
occur, and cloud gaming works without problems.
Priority:
High
Notes:
The problem is reproduced both when using the web version of the GeForce
Now service and when running through the gfn-electron client.
Additional testing on other versions of Plasma KDE is needed to determine
the scale of the problem.
You should examine the differences between the Plasma KDE and Gnome
graphical environments to identify potential causes of keyboard blocking.
