[14:26] <chris_uk[m]> Greetings. I am having fairly regular (once a month) (Bluetooth) keyboard lockups at login. Mouse moves but cannot type password. So have to do hard reboots. Is there any alternative way of dealing with this situation? 
[14:27] <chris_uk[m]> Ubuntu Studio 21.10. 
[14:39] <Iamthehuman1> Sorry to hear you are having such a problem chris_uk[m]. IMO that could be a bug in US, could be a bug in the bluetooth keyboard
[14:40] <Iamthehuman1> So you have a bluetooth mouse _and_ bluetooth keyboard?
[17:10] <Eickmeyer> Iamthehuman1: Ubuntu Studio doesn't maintain 90% of what goes into it. Remember, it's just a different default installation of Ubuntu.
[17:10] <Eickmeyer> chris_uk[m]: That's a little expected with Bluetooth as, when first logging-in (like, after a restart), it takes a few seconds for your keyboard and computer to negotiate the connection.
[17:24] <chris_uk[m]> Yes, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Is there any way to  avoid hard reboots? 
[17:31] <Eickmeyer> chris_uk[m]: That depends on what is being updated. For the most part, you shouldn't have to reboot, but if there's any kernel updates (think for security) that will require a reboot.
[17:32] <Eickmeyer> A periodic reboot is in your best interest. A few seconds of bluetooth keyboard negotiation is a small price to pay for bug fixes and security updates.
