ubot5bug 1284856 in gnome-shell-extensions (Ubuntu) "Places Status Indicator Disabled" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/128485613:36
gnoutchdHello all, I've got an (Ubuntu) gnome-shell session here where keyboard and mouse input handling seems to have gotten wedged.19:16
gnoutchdI've seen this particular problem once or twice before, but I don't know what triggers it.19:17
gnoutchdIn the past, I've been able to clear it up by restarting gnome-shell, but I'm wondering if there's any debugging I should do now before restarting, esp, since this problem rarely occurs.19:18
gnoutchdThe main trouble seems to be that applications aren't getting any mouse or keyboard input events.19:19
gnoutchdI can confirm this by SSHing in and running xev (with appropriate DISPLAY, etc).  The xev window shows up (so the graphics system seems to be working still), but it reports no mouse or keyboard events.19:20
gnoutchdGnome-shell itself still seems to be partially responsive to mouse input, as it responds appropriately to my clicking on the clock or any of the other indicators on the top panel.19:22
gnoutchdBut I am unable to interact with anything else.19:22
gnoutchdIt sorta feels like gnome-shell has taken an X11 input grab and then forgot to let go. (I haven't confirmed that though.)19:23
gnoutchdI've managed to attach gdb to the affected gnome-shell instance and I was able to get backtraces, but they don't look promising at all (7 threads all waiting in poll(), except for two threads were mozjs is waiting in pthread_cond_wait()).19:26
gnoutchdAnd running 'call gjs_dumpstack ()' doesn't produce any output at all.19:26
gnoutchdBTW this is with the stock gnome-shell shipped in Ubuntu 13.10 (gnome-shell --version says  "3.8.4").19:28
gnoutchdI can wait for another 1-2 hours or so before I'll have to restart (I will need a working desktop again eventually), but if there's any other debugging info that it would be useful for me to collect, please let know.19:29
gnoutchdAlright, now I know for certain that this is an input grab problem.  I just ran "xdotool key XF86LogGrabInfo" from SSH, which caused X to log information about input grabs.  As I suspected, gnome-shell has a grab on both the keyboard and the mouse.20:01
gnoutchdAh, I think this may be the bug I'm experiencing: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70085420:08
ubot5Gnome bug 700854 in general "messageTray: Fix a stuck grab related to bubble notifications" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]20:08
gnoutchd:heh :)20:09
gnoutchdThanks :)20:09
gnoutchdYep, I've been able to reproduce my input problem in another user account by middle-clicking on a message tray icon.  And I'm pretty sure that was also the last thing I did before I started experience the problem in my main user account.20:20
gnoutchdSo I consider this bug tracked down.  You may now ignore my previous request for help. :)20:21
