Asus laptop: random keyboard problem

Message

mazda1 · #1 Post by **mazda1** » 2024-12-02 10:27

I have an Asus Vivobook X1704VA laptop: my keyboard locks up randomly. At first I thought the problem might be with the xserver-xorg-input-libinput driver. But a few days ago, I found a topic on this forum describing a problem with an Asus Vivobook X1704VAP that looks a lot like mine: viewtopic.php?p=808370.. It pointed to bug #1078696: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/ ... 00202.html. The proposed solution is as follows:

Add the X1704VAP to the irq1_level_low_skip_override[] quirk table to fix this.

I checked the change log for kernel 6.1.0.27 and I found this:

Code: Select all

$ apt changelog linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64 | grep -i -A 1 'vivobook X1704'
     - ACPI: resource: Add Asus Vivobook X1704VAP to
      irq1_level_low_skip_override[] (Closes: #1078696)

Apparently, for an Asus Vivobook X1704VAP, this problem was solved as of kernel 6.1.0.27, But nothing on my X1704VA laptop. Nevertheless, I thought this problem could be solved for mine too, so I deleted the i8042.dumbkbd=1 option, which seemed to be effective. But this morning I had exactly the same problem: my keyboard froze again.

After rebooting, I checked a log that seems relevant (I'm not very sure):

Code: Select all

/var/log# less Xorg.0.log.old | grep keyboard | tail -n 5
[     9.195] (**) Logitech Wireless Mouse: Applying InputClass "libinput keyboard catchall"
[     9.196] (II) event15 - Logitech Wireless Mouse: device is a keyboard
[     9.237] (II) event15 - Logitech Wireless Mouse: device is a keyboard
[     9.238] (**) Logitech Wireless Mouse: Applying InputClass "libinput keyboard catchall"
[ 39105.554] (II) event0  - AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: device removed

How do I add my X1704VA laptop to the irq1_level_low_skip_override[] table? I don't even know what a “quirk table” is and where to find it. If I have to recompile the kernel, I give up right away. Or should
I report a bug for my laptop?

You are reporting a "random keyboard lock", while the OP of the referenced discussion reported his/her keyboard was not working at all.

So, yours is probably a different issue.

It may be a firmware/hardware malfunction.

You may analyze or share system logs for other clues.

Hello,

I thought that the two laptops might have the same problem because in the first message there is this link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/2024 ... edhat.com/, which says this:

Like other Asus Vivobook models the X1704VAP has its keybopard IRQ (1)
described as ActiveLow in the DSDT, which the kernel overrides to EdgeHigh
which breaks the keyboard.

Add the X1704VAP to the irq1_level_low_skip_override[] quirk table to fix
this.

I interpreted that as "all the Asus Vivobook model have the same problem and the fix is...".

I've just had the same problem. Fortunately, some keys still work when this happens, the on/off key is one of them and I can shut down my laptop properly.

Here are some logs concerning this problem:

Are there other logs which might be relevant to this problem?

PS1: until I find a solution I will add "i8042.dumbkbd=1" option that seemed to work.
PS2: 2024/12/17 ; 9 problem-free days with this option. Fingers crossed. ----> it didn't last very long, but for the first time I was able to get my keyboard working again: open tty2 as root and restart lightdm.

Hello,

What is the output of the dmidecode command for your computer ?

Hello,

According to the dmidecode output:

your notebook is exactly identified in the patch as in the previous thread, if I read correctly:

[Solved] Asus Vivobook X1704V , keyboard problem

Code: Select all

{
                /* Asus ExpertBook X1704VA */

                },
        },

So, patching your kernel might solve the issue.

You might recompile the kernel after patching it [2]. The patch (I named "X1704VAP.patch" below) is:

You can use the following commands (replace linux-6.1.119 with the kernel version whose sources are downloaded):

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install packaging-dev
$ apt source linux
$ sudo apt build-dep linux
$ cd linux-6.1.119/
$ quilt import ../X1704VAP.patch
$ quilt push
$ dch -i "local rebuild for X1704VAP keyboard patching"
$ dpkg-buildpackage -B -uc -us

Rebuilding the kernel will require some time (probably many hours, depending on your hardware capability) and enough disk space (probably many gigabytes).

Previous command will create debian packages for the rebuilt unsigned kernel. You are mainly interested in a sub-version of linux-image-$(uname -r).deb

If you are booting Debian with secure boot, you will need create and register a MOK (machine owner key) into the UEFI NVRAM and then sign the unsigned kernel image and rebuild the kernel package (containing the signed kernel image):

https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot

Then, you need to install the debian package containing the rebuilt signed kernel, using dpkg.

Hope this helps.

EDIT Fri Dec 13 18:14:23 CET 2024:

According to the Debian Bug Tracking System:

Debian Bug report logs - #1078696 linux-image-amd64-signed-template: Asus Vivobook X1704V : no keyboard

the patch should be already included in kernel (upstream version) 6.1.15 and next versions. So, the Debian packages linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64 and subsequent linux-image-6.1.0-28-amd64 (currently in debian-proposed-updates) should already include the patch.

What is the version you are currently using ? You can check with the command:

Code: Select all

uname -a

hello!

as I'm using linux-image-6.1.0.28-amd64 the patch should be included and the bug fixed, but I still have a problem. Does it come from the driver xserver-xorg-input-libinput, as I first thought? I could try the version 1.4 in trixie, but a dependency is not satisfied: dep: libinput10 (>= 1.23.0). In debian 12 the version of this package is 1.22. Everything else is correct.

Hello,

Does the keyboard issue appear with grub (boot loader) or typing in a virtual console [1] ?

The issue does not appear with grub.

When the problem occurs, among other things, I can't open and write to a terminal tty7. Stangely, I can sometimes open a tty2/3 console and use it, that's another random effect of the problem. Normally I can highlight tabs in Firefox one by one, but with this problem I can't: once highlighted a tab stays in this state and I can highlight all the tabs that are open, one by one. I have many such erratic events occurring.

#10 Post by **Aki** » 2024-12-14 08:44

How soon after installing Debian did the problem start?

Aki wrote: 2024-12-14 08:44 How soon after installing Debian did the problem start?

it started 2 or 3 days after the installation.

Could this have anything to do with the problem: on the right-hand side of the keyboard, the first four keys above the numeric keypad are, from left to right: Calculator (launches calculator), CE (= Clear Entry), -/+ (Change Sign) and On/Off. The problem is that F9 and + / - keys have the exact same function and also CE and Del key act the exact same: their keycodes and scancodes are identical.

Which packages did you install within the first 3 days after installing Debian? You can check here:

I've found the log but first I need to learn how to copy from line 93 to line 329 with the less editor viewer, so I can only keep what is relevant

less is a viewer, would not say it is an editor. But you can show starting by line number: less +nnn file, where nnn is the page number.
