Every once in a while the keyboard freezes for a bit, but the mouse still works fine.



The keyboard and mouse are connected to the computer via a single wireless dongle.



The problem is fixed by a reboot.



I confirmed that the CPU and RAM were not being fully utilized.



What else might be causing it?



UPDATE:
It seems like it might have something to do with my GPU.
I found this in /var/syslog right after an incident:



Dec 25 00:28:33 debian kernel: [ 920.350428] NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:01:00: GPU-60df4653-7e30-ba1b-17c9-f7a69fcdb14a

  • What distribution are you running, destkop environment/window manger, kernel, etc? Are there any relevant log snippits?

  • Start with dmesg output and /var/log/syslog, maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and try to capture them around the time of the incident. You could open a couple terminals and follow them with tail -f (and dmesg -w). Also keep in mind that issues like this may be more likely since you are on a testing release of Debian.

  • It's unlikely (but not impossible) that the delay is caused by the GPU in some way. Assuming it's an USB dongle, the event path is: USB -> dongle driver -> kernel input layer -> X/Wayland input layer. Test systematically where the problem is: First check the kernel input layer (evtest, see if you get events even if you don't get keypresses). After that usbmon, or xev (or whatever Wayland can use).
