Re: [Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust
First of all, I have not been able to reach the website for this bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/264196, in over a week. I must point out that this bug is now happening approximately half the time I start a Linux session. It's happening again today. This is despite the fix. So, sometimes the fix works, and sometimes it does not, on the same compuuter. It's driving me crazy even as I type this message. I'vvve already corrected a bunch of the repeat types. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust
The bug is back. The edit in rc.local fixed it for 2-1/2 weeks, but today the old fast-repeat misbehavior has returned on my USB keyboard, but not on the laptop's built-in keyboard. I checked rc.local and my fix is still there, has not disappeared.

Status in X.Org X server: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: go to System Preferences Keyboard General The controls under Repeat Keys are failing to properly adjust the timing of how fast keys are repeated when held down. I filed under gnome, but a person there thinks its an xorg bug in ubuntu: http://bugzilla.gnome.org show_bug.cgi?id=550242 It has become quite clear that this is a problem with the xorg-evdev driver, and intrepids new hotplug architecture. Here is a workaround for this: Temporarily add the following to your xorg.conf: Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices off EndSection Restart X, and you will be able to change the settings. Once changed, you can remove those lines from your xorg.conf (which is recommended since setting AutoAddDevices to off can interfere with your keyboard) Another (and possibly better) workaround is to set the repeat rate manually, see this comment for directions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/264196/comments/26 This bug may also be related to bug 278078 -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm that wolfwitch is correct.

[Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust
George, I entered your code in the terminal (with a change in the delay rate more to my tastes) and got this output: sudo kbdrate -r 15 -d 750 [sudo] password for gumby: Typematic Rate set to 15.0 cps (delay = 750 ms) And I can report that the internal keyboard in my laptop now responds correctly, but the external USB keyboard I use most of the time does not. It still displays the old repeating key behavior. Is there any workaround that works for a USB keyboard attached to a laptop? -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust
George, You mean issue a command every time you start the OS? Caan you tell me specificallyy what i need to do? I am a Linux newbie. I assume you mean use the Terminal. Can you tell me exactly what to type in the terminal? As far as i'm concerned, this bug is very critical. It is so bad I've had to correct several involuntary character repeats in this single post. Iit makes me not want to use the OS, frankly. But I will if I caan fix this. It really makes Linux look Not Ready For Prime Time, if you know what I mean. I'm amazed more people don't complain. Maybe they are just watching movies on theirr PCs, not typing. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust

[Bug 264196] Re: [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust
Jorge, Thanks for this workaround. The repeating key problem is driving me crazy! Can you tell me one thing? I am a Linux newbie. I'm running Mint 6.0, which is based on Ubuntu 8.10. I see that i can edit the file /etc/rc.local with gedit, but I am afraid of screwing up my system if I don't do it exactly right. Can you tell me exactly where in rc.local to put the line: kbdrate -r 25 -d 500 ? does it go at the end, or before the exit 0 or where? You said that you just added the line to the file, but that is too vague for me to be able to implement your workaround.
