Just for completeness: Had that problem too. Since I have removed the screensaver handling B.S. from the xine-ui, no problem any more... somehow xine uses the Xtst extension from xorg to simulate input.

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
The bugs are probably closely related and may even have identical causes in the end, but the original symptoms are very different. For this bug there was a patch to xorg-server that worked for most people - but apparently not all. But until it is established that they *do* have identical causes, I'd vote for keeping the bug separate. @Martin Pool: Are you sure you experience *this* bug? The symtoms of this bug are described for example here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/194214/comments/103 (if you say it happens a few times an hour, I don't think you keep restarting your X-Server every couple of minutes to get out of key repeat loops?), however the symptoms of bug 124406 are intermittent key repeats (and probably key losses) that stop *by themselves* after a few repeats, and are much more visible for normal keys instead of modifier keys. -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm seeing similar behaviour in Jaunty as a new regression in the last couple of days updates. It's not happening very often - a few times an hour - but it is happening. It does not seem like a hardware problem because it's come on very suddenly and is on many different keys, especially modifiers and space.

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
Ah, I forgot to note here that disabling setup-hotkeys or hotkey-setup or whatever it was called didn't solve the problem after all. However, an old mailing list posting from 2003 hints at the keyboard handling in the kernel 2.6 series being the cause of a remarkably similar problem: The answers differ for 2.4 and 2.6. For 2.4 each keypress is a keypress, and key releases are rather unimportant as long as the key is not a modifier key. For 2.6 we have synthetic repeat, so a second keypress from the keyboard is ignored, the key repeats with kernel-defined frequency, and the repeat is ended by the key release. http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/14/148 -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oli: What you are describing with VMWare is exactly the problem I just started having after I just upgraded (sorry I'm late to the party). I can reproduce it exactly the same way you describe with VMWare and the setxkbmap trick works perfectly for me. Can anyone tell me if there is a thread specifically for this problem as Oli describes. I hate to continue monitoring this thread that has been resolved already if there's a new one that fits my problem better. I did a little searching but I haven't found the perfect thread for this problem yet. Another problem I've been having (as a side note) for a long while is that when the computer is idle for a while if VMWare has focus the screen saver won't kick in but as soon as vmware loses focus the screen saver kicks in even though I'm moving the mouse... The only reason I mention that is that I have my screen saver requiring a password and I just had to power off my machine because I couldn't type the password with this keyboard bug active...

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
I continued Chris's git-bisect (the build errors were pretty easy to fix, much easier than getting X to build at all and getting compiz to run on top of it). The issue manifested itself in a slightly different manner for me - the X server hung instead of auto-repeating, but I assume it's the same problem. Anyway, this seems to be the commit that is causing the trouble: # bad: [83e76fb3f7a89a237893c2b7df450d4f90eab52d] Save processInputProc before wrapping it and restore it later, instead of using a hardcoded ProcessKeyboardEvent. Otherwise we lose the ability to process DeviceKeyEvents after the first key press. The attached patch reverses this commit on the current hardy X server (there were a few additional occurrences of UNWRAP_PROCESS_INPUT_PROC, but those could be dealt with in a completely analogous way). ** Attachment added: xorg.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12829851/xorg.diff -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
Tom Jaeger, Good that you attached a diff. But how do you know, that it is the file /composite/compext.c who is the culprit? Upload both files, so we can do a side-by-side comparison. -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
I've run a git-bisect against upstream xserver, results here: The bug is introduced somewhere in the following commits a53172827c69a88155a088843c9a3e8a7a7a0463 b76b1d51fe3053fa2a60b64de9ac93f50ef252f5 83e76fb3f7a89a237893c2b7df450d4f90eab52d b600e7c123ce637359a75c43bf67b3462eadb37e 15117d47bf883f3eefc57404f1dfc0c933ab054a I can't do better than that, since all these revisions fail to build.

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
[ I've found that if I go to System Preferences Keyboard and uncheck Key presses repeat when key is held down it solves my problem. I hope that helps in figuring out whats going on. ] I've tried this and the problem occurs anyway, I've the feeling that is when we move mouse and have a key pressed, I can be wrong. Anyway in gutsy I didn't had this trouble, I upgrade to hardy and it happened. The problem is not young cause I had this problem on hardy alpha 2 or 3 don't remember exactly and it was the same thing, I reinstalled gutsy to get a full working os again. Something on Xserver is certainly the base of the problem. ** Attachment added: dmesg.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12738421/dmesg.log -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This two logs are from an gdm restart just after the problem occurs.

[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
I seem to be having the same or a similar problem. I'm running gutsy ubuntu with everything up to date. I am also running synergy. I originally had a different bug that appears to be at least partially documented elsewhere of vmware not picking up the shift key when using synergy. Then, I also got this bug where my control key is stuck down. It doesn't affect any of my other computers that are hooked up through synergy though. I also just installed compiz before this began to happen. -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 194214] Re: Keys get stuck down
It depends on the game, I play WoW in Wine and it detects then a key is pressed and when it comes back up, so its fine for me. its not a perfect solution, but its the only workaround I'm aware of. so far the non- repeating keys have only been a problem when I use a terminal where I can't select the text to delete and backspace once. But then I can't hold down the keys. Example, if I want to move my guy in a game to the left, I don't want to press Left-key 25 times, I want to hold it down. If I want to erase some text, I don't want press backspace 10 times, I want to hold down backspace.

I'm afraid that brings us nowhere nearer. We have already ascertained that it's because xorg doesn't see the key release event. -- Keys get stuck down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
