| 2006-09-29 18:25:19 | Amedee Van Gasse | description | 1/10 of every keypress behaves as if the key is continuously pressed. For example, I type a web address and I get http://wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ad infinitum or until another key is pressed. Depending on what key is repeated, the system may go into an infinite loop and hang. Keyboard repetition is at the default values. This occurs in Gnome, KDE, and even outside X (CTRL+ALT+F1). This problem occurs only in Ubuntu 6.06LTS. This problem did/does not occur in: Ubuntu 5.10, Knoppix 5.0, PC-BSD, Windows XP Pro, FreeDOS,... The problem appears to be unrelated to hardware, because it appears with the following hardware: * Logitech Cordless keyboard on USB * Logitech Cordless keyboard on PS/2 * plain vanilla keyboard on PS/2 Steps to reproduce the problem: * installing a clean Ubuntu 6.06 Measures taken to mitigate the problem: disabled keyboard repetition. Now the modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift,...) "sometimes" behave as if they are sticky. Also, some keypresses get lost. This is also independent of the keyboard, typing speed *or* the person using it. This is still annoying but does not cause a hang. | 1/10 of every keypress behaves as if the key is continuously pressed.

The problem appears to be unrelated to hardware, because it appears with the following hardware: * Logitech Cordless keyboard on USB * Logitech Cordless keyboard on PS/2 * plain vanilla keyboard on PS/2 Steps to reproduce the problem: * installing a clean Ubuntu 6.06, no installation of any extra software, and running the update. (sudo apt-get update) Problem started somewhere in august, after an update. Before that, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS worked perfectly for more than a month. Measures taken to mitigate the problem: disabled keyboard repetition. Now the modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift,...) "sometimes" behave as if they are sticky. Also, some keypresses get lost. This is also independent of the keyboard, typing speed *or* the person using it. This is still annoying but does not cause a hang. | |

| 2007-04-01 15:07:46 | Colin Watson | console-setup: statusexplanation | console-setup just defines how the keycodes map to symbols (more or less); which keycodes get produced is up to the kernel. Reassigning. | ||

| 2008-10-09 17:56:24 | Ralph Janke | linux: statusexplanation | Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks. | ||
