FC17 Gnome login - every keystroke beeped, but eventually registers. What broke?
I mostly use my FC17 desktop as a server, but also work at the keyboard fairly often. After I let yum update a batch of packages today I rebooted the system to pick up the latest kernel. Now on the Gnome login screen when I attempt to enter my password, every key depression on my USB keyboard, including Shift or Ctrl on their own, results in a beep and the keystroke is not registered in the password window. However, I've discovered that if I hit each key multiple (5-10) times it eventually gets through and I get the corresponding bullet in the password field. After I get all of the characters in my password through I can click the login button with the mouse and subsequently the keyboard works normally in my shell windows. Unfortunately, I cannot be sure it was today's updates that caused the problem.
dmesg shows no errors/warnings for the keyboard; the Xorg.0.log shows no keyboard problems either. gnome-session version is 3.4.2. I tried swapping both the keyboard and its USB port with no change. Any suggestions for a solution to this problem or on where else to look for diagnostic information? Thanks. |

but i can guess likely you have multiple third party repos installed and turned on this can cause incompatibilities once you do login please post the output of this Code:

I casually wrote "bunch of packages" because I had performed several "yum updates" remotely before having to use the keyboard and discovering the problem entering the password on the Gnome login screen. I've appended the package list after the output requested.
I also removed "recordmydeskop" as a potential culprit, but that did not fix the problem.
