Tim Peeters, i can confirm you are lucky. For about a month my Lenovo Ideapad U300s worked ok with Ubuntu and Kubuntu (both 13.04). But now I'm having this issue again, now my F5 key sends F9, i discovered it when i was close to post a bug about refreshing with F5 key, but's not a refresh bug no... is this horrible U300s bug that randomly switch keyboard keys, and it only happens when running Ubuntu/Kubuntu (i've not tested another distros). Once it happens, the problem affects also Windows and the BIOS screen. The unique way to solve it is to discharge and/or remove the battery. It's really a headache, i use the ultrabook for work and now i have not a screwdriver, so i'll have to wait around 2 hours for the battery and fix the problem. I really hate this annoying bug and it's not happening on Windows 7, i mean it's not a hardware failure.
