Public bug reported:
When I came back to my laptop, after some `xset dpms force off`, my window
manager (awesomeWM) behaved strange:
the modkey (super/windows key) was not recognized anymore - probably just all
modifier keys (I still could type into the current window, but not switch).
Then I've noticed that there is failsafeXServer on VT2.
I've chosen the last option (drop me to a console login), and that killed the
gnome-session which ran awesomeWM.
I've noticed this on ~02:55.
>From the logs it seems like the failsafeXServer has been there since the
last reboot already?
There were no "systemd" messages in the systemd journal for hours - e.g.
because X might have crashed or something else would have triggered
this.
It seems like for some reason the long-running failsafeXServer suddenly
captured the input method somehow, and also the redrawing which wasn't
happening in awesomeWM anymore.
It's a bit frustrating to have the X session being killed like this.
Let me know, if I should provide more information from logs etc.
For the time being I'll probably uninstall xdiagnose - it's not worth
such trouble (for me).
