I have recently noticed that commands in my editor, navigation and passwords are failing. Today I noticed in journalctl that kwin_wayland_wrapper is writing:

kwin_wayland_wrapper[3727]: Key repeat discarded, Wayland compositor doesn't seem to be processing events fast enough!

I use:

  • Fedora 41 KDE spin, with current version and rebooted just hours ago.
  • kernel 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64

output from kinfo:

$ kinfo

I use a nvidia ADA 2000 and I must say I suspect that it or the internal CPU to the intel processor is the issue here as I have an identical setup (except for hardware) which use a pure AMD setup and it has no issues like this.
I use the proprietary driver from NVIDIA following the setup: Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
I do not notice anything in either sudo dmesg or sudo journalctl that indicate what is wrong here.

Hi! Just to double-check, is the NVIDIA driver definitely loaded and not being blocked by Secure Boot or something like that? You can run nvidia-smi from a terminal to check that.

I’m asking only because my kids’ laptop has both integrated graphics and an NVIDIA card, and I’ve noticed funky issues in the past on the desktop - even the things that should only use the iGPU - when the open-source Nouveau drivers were active.

I don’t think this is just an Nvidia issue, i’ve started seeing the same issue on my Radeon 7800xt
LTS, Stable and Mainline have the same problem, so its either Plasma or another important layer.

OS: Arch Linux.

seeing the entire desktop lockup, sometimes it recovers after a while other times i gave up waiting and logged into sshd and restarted desktop.
