Worried I've broken keyboard layout somehow and can't login.

Hey, when trying to type in Konsole I got a warning, Output has been disabled by Ctrl-S, to reset use Ctrl-Q. Obviously I tried to press Ctrl-Q, but I still could not type anywhere. Now when I try to type anywhere nothing happens.

I no longer get the error above Konsole just closes.

Any idea what I’ve done or how to fix it? I have tried my physical keyboard and an external Bluetooth keyboard.

First, welcome to the KDE Discuss Forums.


Presumably you’re using a Laptop.

  • Which Linux system are you using?
    If you’re using Konsole from a KDE Plasma Desktop, you’ve managed to login –
    Unless, you’ve setup the Linux system to automatically login.

  • Are you using Konsole as a Windows App loaded from the Microsoft Store?


If, you’re executing Konsole on a Linux system, what happens if, you type ?

  • Do you get a Virtual Terminal (VT) login prompt on TTY1?
  • Can you login to a Command Line Interpreter (CLI)?
