Jonathan Lange, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (43). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: kernel-request-3.2.0-23.36 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-43 bot-stop-nagging ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Lenovo u300s 't' key sends "Hiragana-Katana" + [Lenovo IdeaPad U300s] 't' key sends "Hiragana-Katana" -- 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/974455 Title: [Lenovo IdeaPad U300s] 't' key sends "Hiragana-Katana" Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since booting today, my laptop's 't' key (physical) does not function correctly. Instead of sending the correct keycode, it sends "<Hiragana-Katakana>. I use a dvorak keyboard layout, so it ought to map to 'y' for me. jpds reports that cparrino has had the same issue on nearly-identical hardware, and that the key also does not work in grub. He also provides this work-around: $ xmodmap -e "keycode 101 = t" Which only works in qwerty. Use "keycode 101 = y" for dvorak.
