The error was reported by systemd-udevd. Do you mean that udev just reports an error from the kernel? It is not clear whether something needs to be changed in the configuration (but /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb have something similar for another device, so that may indicate at least something wrong with this file) or there is something wrong with the kernel. In the latter case, the bug could be reassigned to the kernel. FYI, the issue is not new (I can see it in the beginning of my log file, in January 2019) and it is still occurring with linux-image-5.4.0-3-amd64 5.4.13-1. Note that the configuration itself is working: with it, F13 gives the Insert key as wanted. So, another possibility is that udev does something unnecessary. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
