Title:
Keyboard becomes all but unusable after Precise runs for so long
Status in The Linux Kernel:
Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
At random lenghts of runtime, after booting Precise on my Alienware
M15x, the keyboard goes completely wonky.
The symptoms for this are varied. Usually, they involve what seems
like a hung keypress, so, for example, if I press Alt-Tab to switch
windows, and release the Tab, as long as I have Alt pressed the
switcher rapidly scrolls through open windows unstopped.
Or, if I press and hold the space bar, the system continuously spits
out spaces. OR, if I scroll a web page using the up or down arrows
(or try navigating large files using less in a terminal window) the
arrow key appears to become stuck until I press a different arrow key.
Another symptom is that keys stop responding on the first press. I
may have to type each key twice to get the letter to appear in
whatever I am typing in.
Logwise, I consistently see atkbd error messages flooding syslog like
this:

At this point, the only thing I can do is reboot the system to
recover. Needless to say, this makes Precise on my system a very
frustrating experience.
Unfortunately, I can use apport to add logs because of this bug: #984256
which makes apport all but unusable.
