Actually "xset r rate 1000 25" didn't help. Neither did booting with any of these: i8042.nomux i8042.reset i8042.dumbkbd i8042.nopnp i8042.unlock.
I ended up disabling key repeat completely with "xset -r". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-hwe-5.15 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2093376 Title: Random keys "stick" repeating until any key is pressed Status in linux-signed-hwe-5.15 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Bug found on the brand new Dell Vostro laptop with preinstalled Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Any key at any random moment (might be once an hour or more often) may "stick" repeating itself like I would holding it pressed. Any other or the same key must be pressed to stop this. It's not a hardware keyboard issue itself, since it happens with the external keyboard as well, but not happens on other OS on the same computer. Other users reported facing this bug too mostly with Dell laptops on 20.04, 22.04 which are still in LTS and I'm providing links here because some useful research is done there which may help to locate the issue. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1446583/ubuntu-22-04-infrequent-random-key-sticking-on-dell-g15-5521-that-immediately-c/1494501 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1454666/keys-start-repeating-as-if-they-were-stuck-ubuntu-20-04-and-others-on-laptop ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: linux-image-5.15.0-126-generic 5.15.0-126.136~20.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-126.136~20.04.1-generic 5.15.167 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-126-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Jan 10 00:10:40 2025 DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-focal-amd64-20200502-85 InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-10-08 (93 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20200502-05:58 SourcePackage: linux-signed-hwe-5.15 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.15/+bug/2093376/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
