Keyboard flops after GTK packages installed

[JoeDude]

Don't know where else to put this and it was the instalation of some apps that probably started this problem, so here we go. (Actually I claim responsability for causing it stoopid noob)

I'm running SuSE 9.0 and been trying to get MPlayer installed. It kept telling me I could do the GUI because I didn't have the right GTK developement packages, but wouldn't tell me which one I needed. SOOOOOOOO...being the Noob I am, I did a search for everything that was named, required, used or referenced GTK. After many hours of turmoil...TADA I got MPlayer with GUI!!!

NOW, my keyboard is acting up.

Defined. In word processors it works fine. On web browsers (WebBrowser, Epiphany, Mozilla, Konqueror) it won't let me type in anything other than in the address bar. In Konsoles, It will only allow me to type when I first bring it up. If I switch to another application, then come back to it, No typing. This behavior is true with all other functions. The mouse is working fine.

More specifoically on the keyboard, functions work. I can use enter, backspace, tab, CTRL + C or V etc. I just can't seem to type letter or numbers.

Any ideas?

According to this page from mplayer documentation:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/gui.html
the only libraries you need are libpng, gtk-dev, and libpng-dev.

Maybe if you gave us a list of what other random gtk libraries you installed? There may be some strange incompatibilities, or some extraneous stuff that you don't want or need.

Alternatively, if you are excited about trying this out for yourself, attempt to remove all the gtk items you installed, and then reinstall only the ones you need. See if that offers you any improvement. I seem to recall that you prefer KDE, is that correct? If so, there may be some serious conflicts between gtk and Qt. Might want to to check into that.

[JoeDude]

I have since switched to GNOME, it seems to be more supported and I get a whole lot more references for it.

I switched cuz you said so

When I get home and get time I'll post the absurd list of GTK's that were installed.

OK...I don't know if this will help, but here goes. It's the system event log for what I think were the offending days.

My god, man, I cannot believe your computer even runs! Clearly, your graphics card is having serious issues, especially the 3-d drivers (appgart). Your sound card is also screwy. The only thing I saw that might affect your keyboard is this:

linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-226

But scratch that, a google search shows that this module is related to your Radeon card.

Is your keyboard usb? Is your mouse usb? Looked like there might have been a problem with that. Mostly, tho, its your graphics card and your sound card.

I hate to tell you this, but you might have to back up everything and reinstall.

One last chance (unless VoidMain says otherwise): post your dmesg and you XF86Config. We might be able to gather more info from those.

[worker201]

That doesn't help much.

I bet your kernel is actually 2.4.x. Should be 2.6.x. Anyway, your Radeon is very screwed up, according to your event log post. Fix that first.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if your Radeon being screwy didn't have anything to do with XF86Config being screwy, which might cause some keyboard problems.

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Void Main]

I really don't know if I can help you much on this one other than the /var/log/messages isn't probably going to help any for this particular thing. I would have to assume it has something to do with the packages you installed in order to get MPlayer to run. Without an exact list of what you installed it's really hard to tell what the problem might be. I don't have a copy of SUSE running anywhere at the moment and I have never seen the problem you are having on any system, ever. :) Sorry but I don't have enough to really have an input at this point.

My guess is that a critical shared library got replaced (probably one of the GTK libraries) that all of the other apps you are now having problems with is linked against. You would have to restore the original packages. You didn't "force" anything or use anything other than RPMs when installing the libraries did you? If so, I'll bet that's where your problem lies.

[JoeDude]

Everything was installed from the OEM discs, YAST should have a log somewhere...I'll find it.

There was no forcing either...danget. I can foul a system up good can't I?

I may take workers advise, reinstallation is starting to look good.

[worker201]

I didn't see anything in your dmesg about your keyboard, don't know if it should be in there or not. My dmesg for FC2 says:

serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0

Sorry, there isn't much that can be done at this point. Time to back up the pr0n! Definitely try to get your kernel updated, 2.6.x is nice.

[JoeDude]

OK, you're going to love this. Upon further review of my files...there wasn't anything in there that couldn't be redownloaded.

Reinstall here I come...

MPlayer - problems, get the ./configure --enable-gui = g to g
make = fuxor

Edonkey/Overnet - Install functioned flawlessly...gui and Command line in there perfect...log on, username and password not valid...I never set one up...

This is where I stopped...I am bald.

I think that is what it should look like.

Did you really reinstall? Did you tell the Suse installer to format your drives? Because it kinda seems like your programs are finding old files laying around. Running make on mplayer when it has already been made will be useless at best. Try running "make clean", and then "make" , "make install" again.

No clue what Edonkey is, even though you told me once before, but maybe it is finding old info in files that never got replaced upon reinstall? When you reinstall, you gotta format your drives, even if it is just a quick format.

I don't believe I have ever had to "reinstall" Linux in the 12 years I have been using it. Just lucky I guess. There aren't prebuilt RPMs of MPlayer out there for SUSE somewhere? That's hard to believe.

Maybe something like this:

It would be really nice if there were some good apt repositories for SUSE similar to FreshRPMS and Dag but I just don't think they exist (yet).

Guilty...I fdisk 'ed and fdisk /mbr'd it...

couldn't get the format to work so I hoped fdisk would take care of it...apparentlly not...I'm off to make a new system disk and try again...suggestions?
