In KMS mode, opening the 'search' menu (on screen keyboard) softlocks the UI
First and foremost consider this:
- Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
- This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented
Description
As per topic. Apparently it can't get focus or something and as a 'bonus' it prevents you from switching from the tty by absorbing all input and delivering it nowhere.
Requires hardware button shutdown
Expected behavior
Either that that screen didn't show if it was known it was going to force a shutdown or that it is fixed.
Actual behavior
Forced to press doom-button.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- open a tty
- start a retroarch instance with a playlist
- press the search button for you (s for me but i may have reassigned it).
(or don't do that last if you can't safely shutdown from your hardware. I'm not to blame by any disk corruption).

Environment information
- OS: linux ubuntu 17.10 x86-64
I cant reproduce this, but you may be able to work around the hard shutdowns by sshing in from another device and killing RetroArch. Alternatively you could do something like.
sleep 60 ; killall retroarch
retroarch
After the 60 second timer expires RetroArch will close automatically.
Did you try with linuxraw input driver? I couldn't actually get input in udev - in KMS - and didn't try sdl.
If i want to try the kill solution to trigger a stacktrace how would that look.
sleep 60; killall retroarch dbg ./retroarch
? I'll get i'll try.
I am using udev. Your user needs to be part of the input user group to use the udev input driver.
usermod -a -G input user_name
You will need a new user login session for it to take effect.
As for linuxraw I have no input at all when using kms, I would suggest using udev instead.
It'd be interesting if the OS itself always caught Ctrl+Alt+Fkey combinations even in case of hanged/broken KMS processes, though i suspect this isn't true since the (not even) hanged retroarch was able to prevent it being passed.
I think RA should have the feature of detecting starting RA without the user in the input group in linux and quit with a obnoxious message (if only quit/show when udev is compiled in / remove linuxraw i leave to your judgment). It would have certainly caused me to not screw myself over like this.
I am really not fan of obnoxious warning messages. It would be better if make it so that the udev input driver didn't require any special permissions, but I'm not sure how feasible that is.
Also it may be possible to not swallow all keys with kms, but I suspect this might cause new issues. For example with mpv...
mpv -vo=drm foo.mkv
This will allow mpv to run in a tty using Kernel Mode Setting / Direct Rendering Manager, but if I try to go back to my running xorg session while mpv is playing a video my xorg session will immediately close.
Weird about that second issue.
About the input, after a quick apt-get to install members, members input says only i30817 So that certainly seems possible since even gnome3 in wayland since nothing used the input group before i added myself. I don't actually know how that's possible, considering the complexity of input but Wayland was designed to be more secure about such things.
edit: this answer seems to indicate there is a proxygroup plugdev. I don't know how those proxies are more secure, maybe the programs that need permission to read devices are whitelisted? The weird thing is that my user is already added usbmux i30817 and it's on a logged in tty too, so if it's added automatically on login it's not a 'true' proxy because RA had trouble. Maybe if i logout of the gnome-session this changes (edit: nope).
Anyway, if it's impossible to not require lower privileges please consider my idea of quitting retroarch with a message like 'RA needs user added to input group to use udev and linuxraw can softlock your machine in KMS in certain situations' (if you're not going to fix the second situation). At least as a stopgap, because forced shutdowns are serious business.
I opened an issue about the VT switching here. https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7797
I'm not sure. Linuxraw and x input drivers are different drivers, and this is a bit more serious - if you get locked out in KMS, you have to reset if i'm not mistaken, while if you get locked out in wayland or x, the alt-tab combination still works.
So if it is the same, it should be verified the same when a fix comes in, and not before i think.
edit: not to mention this lockout isn't because of the driver, but because of a focus problem (i think it was supposed to be) so no they different.
I'm going to try to see if it still exists with a test in a tty.
Right, as you'll see see from the second spoiler the new onscreen keyboard fixes work around this soft lock, but it has curious difference between kms and x11. The joypad driver - note not the input driver - udev or linuxraw, appears to make no difference to these behaviors, though i don't have a joypad to test.
I think that the difference might be caused by X focusing the input in the text entry 'widget' behind the scenes and KMS... not and passing the input directly to the OSK as the 'normal' RA 'pseudo controller' as interpreted by a keyboard. It's better than freezing, that's for sure, though i wonder if many people experienced this before - i'm one of those few using the keyboard to play.
With udev
In kms, it locks from the start, no need to get into a playlist search. This is a manifestation of the bug you linked. I think that controllers might work since the udev controller driver actually gets loaded, but i'm using a keyboard and don't have one to test. the kms log:

with linuxraw (the original report here)
This is interesting, the behavior differs between KMS tty and X11. In both cases the keyboard appears to work with linuxraw, but in X11, you can use the keyboard in a playlist search (without having to use the on screen keyboard - in fact, you actually can't use the onscreen keyboard, only the real one, probably because i have no controller. In KMS it's the other way around, you can't use the keyboard to input the search, but you can use the OSK (with the keyboard serving as a controller). So this was worked around by the new functionality to always have the on screen keyboard open on searches.

I also couldn't use vulkan for kms yet for some reason so i used the gl driver to test this. I didn't test the 'x' input driver for the obvious reason that it doesn't work in kms - but at least it behaves better than udev - it never lets you start retroarch.
You really shouldn't be in wayland or x when using kms it should be tested on the tty environment as intended.
I did test on the tty environment. By pressing ctrl + alt + fkey and login. If you think that's not good enough i can do logout and then do the login but that's the same i think.
The logs are from KMS on a tty, the text inside the spoilers also occasionally mentions what happens in x in addition (ie : udev softlocks and linuxraw works ok with that peculiarity that the search can only use the OSK and it's is vice versa in X11).
If you're asking 'how did you do this', i built both executables (with TARGET=differentfilenames), one only for X and another only for KMS and on the tty i used the kms one, and on x i used the x one.
I'm using navi script because i got tired of the sequence of commands to build RA, if you're interested in it. You'd have to install navi, change the paths in the script, clone the repositories the first time manually and then put the script on the navi .local/share/navi/cheats dir. Then start navi and chose and you have a small text gui to chose the branch to build and the debug value. Didn't manage to do simple way to make the config configurable so that is not part of the GUI. Then i put in a bash alias to those two resulting executables. This is my 'solution' to the buildbot being outdated all the time, or when i want to test a branch but i'm feeling lazy. With a bit more work it'd also build PRs but that's a pain to do and the downloads to just get the pr names get silly (i think you have to download it all).
The navi script

; variables are initialized by navi BEFORE the commands run so one of these per repository is needed

Navi is kind of a terrible scripting language for more complex scripts mixing bash, but i sure like the ability to filter by name and show predetermined options if i want to.
How exactly do I trigger this anytime I get the search box I usually just press enter. Do I have to search within a playlist as I don't have any I usually launch via the command line when I'm testing. I disable the display manager temporarily when messing with kms. From testing the udev mouse changes.
Yes, i used a playlist. I tested this right now (with linuxraw) and i did notice that enter is actually working.
But it didn't work before.
And i think - suspect - i know why it's working - it's the retropad 'start' bound to the OSK 'enter' (which as i mentioned works now - this wasn't the case when i posted this bug, it hardlocked).
Seems like there was a fix where the search works differently in KMS. In X it allows the keyboard, in the TTY KMS it only allows the retropad but that works with the keyboard.
CTRL+ALT+FKEYS (both in search and outside) and the 'press twice esc to exit' inside search still don't work and i doubt they will really.
Udev KMS still freezes RA right at the start.
So basically in this particular bug the situation is much better because you can actually exit (although if you want my opinion being forced to use the OSK is a bit of a bummer for searches); but for the udev problem still requires a hard restart.
Can you post a log with debug on your log says couldn't open any keyboard. I added debugging when a udev fails add when messing with the mouse stuff
I just tried kms mode and had no issues well a little one with vulkan the screen goes black a few seconds on exit. Also the video driver isint picking up an automatic driver I think I know what's causing that though. Im using linux mint im pretty sure you issue might be permissions related. Are you still using linux ubuntu 17.10 x86-64 ?
I compiled with your configure line
./configure --disable-discord --disable-qt --disable-cdrom --disable-x11 --disable-caca --disable-sdl --disable-sdl2 --disable-opengl1 --disable-ffmpeg --disable-flac --disable-wayland --enable-kms --enable-opengl --enable-vulkan
here is the log I tested with sudo telinit 3 ( press alt f1 to get terminal) to close x telinit 5 to resume x
can you just post a ls -al /dev/input to rule out permissions so we can check your permissions

No, i'm on focal (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS).
Also i'm not adding my user to the audio or plugdev groups manually, if that's the reason it works for you, that's just silly.
Regardless, if you're going to focus on the permission problem this is the wrong place for it.
I could close this issue because it's no longer a fatal one (you can use the OSK on KMS, no longer freezes input), but the behavior isn't great. Using the OSK is slow and the same config file differs between X11 and KMS versions of retroarch with the same drivers in behavior here - X11 allows keyboard input and no retropad OSK input, and vice-versa in KMS.
I'm going to ask again, in KMS, can you use the keyboard to search (not the OSK) after pressing 's' in a playlist?
I never added any groups silly using kms without permissions. Use x or wayland if your using wayland it always uses it driver regardless of what you select. Yes I can search my playlist history with the keyboard in kms
I can't test anymore, my "pc" doesn't allow running RetroArch (it's a eeepc from 2008 with 2 gb and a 4 gb ssd, enough said). I'm actually posting in a Android tablet.
Hi @i30817,
I think the issue can be closed.
I could not reproduce the issue. I could make a search on Playlist using the keyboard without being "softlock".
I made a test on Manjaro live KDE Plasma.

I installed game-devices-udev for the gamepad which relies on uaccess tag.
I compile latest RA b73d764 with
git clone https://github.com/libretro/retroarch
cd retroarch
./configure --disable-qt --disable-x11 --disable-wayland --disable-pipewire --enable-kms --enable-egl --enable-vulkan
./retroarch -v
Of course, I stopped sddm before launching RA using sudo systemctl stop sddm.service in the terminal ;)
