SUMMARY
This is a strange bug, and I did not know how to categorize it. I am using
Plasma wayland with Fedora.
I have two USB keyboards. The one from Logitech works with no problem.
The other is from Microsoft. Its lsusb description is
ID 045e:0750 Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600
The Microsoft keyboard, which I prefer, works everywhere except inside Plasma.
I can use it after I boot the computer, within GNOME, or even to enter my
password from sddm. But as soon as I enter Plasma, it's not recognized. None
of the keys has any effect. The Logitech keyboard does function, however,
without problem. I'm running on wayland. I wanted to try it on the X11
version of Plasma, but Fedora does not supply this.
This occurs no matter how I start up plasma, whether from sddm, gdm, or the
startplasma-wayland command.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in my Microsoft USB keyboard.
2. Start Plasma.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Keyboard does not function. I log out using the mouse.
EXPECTED RESULT
The keyboard functions.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 6.9.0-0.rc6. Plasma 6.0.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 24.02
Qt Version: 6.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm currently signed into GNOME, so that I can use my preferred keyboard. I am
running Fedora Rawhide, although the problem is also present in Fedora 40. I
filled in the the KDE, Plasma, and Qt version fields based on the version
numbers in the RPM packages. I think this is what you were looking.
