 Posted: Sun May 24, 2020 6:07 am Post subject: kde: up-arrow mapping to printscreen; [solved] |
 |
|
To be clear about my issue. I had set up this laptop a couple of years back and configured using evdev, as has been my practice for many years. I found evdev had been removed from my system, possibly as a result of the recent removal of consolekit, and had the problem below. I reinstated it, and the problem disappeared, but then I had an issue where the same problem came back when I connected a usb joystick. Looking deeper (documentation always helps!!), I see the default for gentoo is libinput, which I also had installed. I removed my xorg configuration files, and linked the libinput configuration file (as described in the wiki), and now everything is working as expected.

Following latest update to kde, my up-arrow on the keyboard opens spectacle. The down arrow is not functioning. Across google, this seems to be a problem which came up in 2008, but I can see nothing posted more recently. Has anyone else seen a problem like this recently? I am using the stable version of kde and associated tools, and changed nothing else with configuration since the update yesterday.
Here's what got installed:

If I drop out of kde, then from the terminal everything works as expected.
I would appreciate pointers to help resolve this! Thanks!
It turns out xf86-input-evdev had been unmerged when I depcleaned. Doesn't seem to have any packages depending on it. This is quite strange - I don't know what ensured it remained over the previous times I have run depclean (I do keep my system up to date and reasonably clear of cruft). |
