some keys on my generic USB keyboard do not work properly ufter upgrading from kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04

[Artur Schmitt]

The leftmost keys on my generic (105 Intl keys) USB keyboard do not work properly after upgrading from kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04. Pressing the keys "q","w","a","s","z","x", always the combinations "qw", "qw", "as", "as", "zx" and "zx" appear on the screen, respectively. The problem disapears after unpluging and hot-pluging-in the keyboard. After the a reboot, the problem cames back. This did not happen before using Kubuntu 6.10.

Can you please attach as files the output of "dmesg > dmesg.log" and "lsusb > lsusb.log" ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Does this also happen to you in a console virtual terminal? Could you please also add your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file? Thanks in advance.

What is a "console virtual terminal"?

[Artur Schmitt (schmitt)]

The bug also occurs in a terminal like "Konsole" or "tty1" (at Ctrl+Alt-F1).

[Artur Schmitt (schmitt)]

I performed several reboots. The bug did appear again but not always.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Since it also happens in tty1 the contents of you '/etc/default/console-setup' file would also be helpful

[Artur Schmitt (schmitt)]

Since the bug happens when the computer is rebooted and dissapears on the running system when hot-pluging-in the keyboard, I guess that it could be a kind of "initialization" problem during the bootup process.

I have the same problem with my HAMA media keyboard, but in Ubuntu Feisty. so far it has happened after every boot. Just letting you know its not just in Kubuntu.

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄 (popey)]

Could this be a lack of power on the USB bus causing the keyboard not to initialise or perform correctly?

[Lucas Westermann (lswest)]

I don't think so, it worked in Edgy and in windows it works fine, so far i think it has to do with a bug in the initialization of the keyboard drivers during boot. According to my bios, power is as it should be.

I'm experiencing the same problem after upgrading to Feisty with a japanese keyboard. Is there any resolution or update to this?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Can someone let us know if this is still an issue on Jaunty?
