reverse patching this patch 'solves' the issue (specifically reverse patching pinctrl-baytrail, reverse patching pinctrl-intel is not really necessary) -- 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/1656618 Title: Any key pressed opens shutdown dialog (Asus X205TA) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After a fresh install of 16.10 on my Asus X205TA, any key pressed on the built-in keyboard brings up the shutdown dialog. The system works fine with a USB keyboard. The installed kernel was 4.8.0-34-generic. Booting with 4.8.0-22-generic, the keyboard works fine.
