Matthew Franz, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 195982 Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: hardy needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream-testing regression-potential -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221147 Title: Control characters and caps lock and other control characters don't work in X in Hardy Development Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: For the last 2-3 weeks in Hardy I have been having seeming random keyboard mapping issues where SHIFT and CTRL no longer seem to work after a few hours/minutes. CAPS LOCK indicator no longer lights up when pressed. Occurs in xterms, gnome-terminal and all X apps. This occurs whether using KDM/GDM (KDE/GNOME) and various window managers: openbox, fluxbox, xfce, etc. Another issue I have seen is that a small number (less than 5%) of sessions through GDM hang after login usually with GNOME. No issues with OpenBox. Exiting out and logging in again from GDM/KDM always solves the problem until it happens again.
