Screen lags while typing or freezes completely, if I'm typing fast

Good evening,

I have a pretty strange problem or at least I think it is, since I never saw that kind of problem before.
If I’m typing something the screen update rate goes down. It depends on how fast I type. If I provoke it and type very quickly, the screen freezes completely as long as I’m typing and even several seconds afterwards, if I’m typing longer than 2-3 seconds.

As far as I can say it looks like the GPU can’t keep up with my typing while rendering what I’m typing. Well, I don’t have the newest mega GPU, but a 1080TI shouldn’t have any performance issues with me typing to fast. I’m not sure If there even is a gpu from the last 15 years which could have…

This is happening since months now, I was hoping some update would fix it eventually, but the problem is still there and it’s bothering me more an more each day ^^

Maybe someone has an idea how to get rid of it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok, sry for that. The output was very large, so I just picked the system and the graphics information.

Moderator edit: In the future, please use proper formatting: [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

…but …
that does not include everything.

Swap? Partitions? Space? BIOS?

Also see this for formatting, etc.

I do notice its an older kernel. So you might try something more recent. Both 6.1 and 6.6 are LTS.

I’m sry again, I will write more carefully from now on.

First I installed the 6.6 kernel, which unfortunately didn’t solve the problem.

Than I’ve looked into the HowTo Post, specifically the one about error logs and then looked into the journalctl, when provoking the error. And as soon as I type anything these 9 lines keep repeating in the journalctl until I stop typing:

Jan 17 22:40:58 user-desktop gnome-shell[1335]: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 37 with keysym 37 (keycode 10).
Jan 17 22:40:58 user-desktop gnome-shell[1335]: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 36 with keysym 36 (keycode f).

Jan 17 22:40:58 user-desktop gnome-shell[1335]: Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 34 with keysym 34 (keycode d).

That lead me to this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=245058
Which isn’t quite my problem since I don’t miss any multimedia keys, but using “sudo showkey -k” I thought that only nine specific keys are causing the error, because when I’m only spamming “q” and “w” for example (which aren’t one of the numbers shown in the journalctl warnings) the screen isn’t freezing at all.

At little bit more searching and I found this old issue for dash to dock, which I use too:

I never have used any shortcuts with dash to dock, so I deactivated them in the settings. Now the warnings in journalctl are gone, but the error is still there and I’m actually out of ideas.

So any suggestion how to proceed would be very appreciated.

Any ideas how to fix or track down the problem would be really appreciated. Wasn’t able to fix it myself, at least until now :sweat_smile:

Your disk is just about full.
Please try to clean it up.
10% free should be considered the absolute minimum … but you really want to shoot for 20% or more free.

Also since you mentioned extensions … please try disabling them all.

I recently experimented a little bit with OBS and a few videos from that where still lingering around in the trash. I’ve deleted them and have about 120 GBs of free space now.

I also tried to disable the dash to dock extension, deleted it to be sure, unfortunately the problem still remains. As far as I remember I didn’t install any other extension, but a few more are active, so I disabled them all, to see if that helps. But the freezes while typing fast are still there.
