into a 
similar problem for years.  Suddenly keyboard (the internal of my notebook)

I had to restart the window manager. 

This happened only in plasma5, not in LXDE or other window manager.

I read in some forum, that the problem of installing the package "fcitx" should 
stop this. I 
did, and - well the bug was gone. However, I did not understand why, because 
fcitx has 
just something to do with chinese or japanese fonts. No clue, what it was 
related to, but 
the bug was gone. 

At the moment I got into trouble with the touchpad, but I think, this is more a 
kernel 
module issue.

There is a bugreport, I filed to it.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Verified 
mouse and keyboard batteries both at 50%. After several switches between open 
pages 
the keyboard recovered so I could write this. 2" All this on Ubuntu Studio. 
Again an 
intermittent problem. Keyboard just stopped working again and recovered after 
several 
minutes. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

This happens infrequently, once in a day or two. I am using two pc's, a 
raspberrypi and a 
Ubuntu Studio each with its own Logitech usb keyboard and have experienced  
this 
problem on both systems. 

I have tried to recover with various keyboard entries - ctl-c, cti-d, esc, q 
and by 
disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard. Nothing but a reboot solves the 
problem.  
I use ctl-alt-f1 to open a terminal, sign in and enter shutdown -r now to do 
this. There is 
no problem with the keyboard. 

Is this a known problem? Is there a known solution? 





Taking into account that both devices now exhibit similar behavior, I'd start 
by looking 
into USB power saving functions [1]  and try to disable them to see if it 
solves the 
problem.That could be done by setting "autosuspend" parameter of kernel module 
"usbcore" to a negative integer value (-1).You can change it temporarily on 
running 
system by typing:    sudo echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
