To be clear, I wish to send this video. It happens unpredictably. Even after a reformat it still happens like this.
So, is it possible this is a bug or this is more likely a hardware issue rather than a bug or is it possibly both? (Because of necessity, I had to change the laptop keyboard for the replacement English keyboard instead. And, I'm using it now as of this writing. Sorry if I gave you a hard time squashing bugs.) ** Attachment added: "20180716_082552.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1775016/+attachment/5164151/+files/20180716_082552.mp4 -- 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/1775016 Title: [Dell Latitude E6420] Ubuntu/Xubuntu 18.04 bug: Keyboard stops working in the middle of typing when running firefox and when running the terminal (sudo su) and similar programs until reboot.
