Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Hi,
since upgrade to lucid i got this problem more often and more "dramatically":
>From time to time it looks like caps lock is enabled (without showing the caps
>light btw!): LIKE AT THE MOMENT *NARF*
I CANNOT TURN IT OFF (BUT if i turn caps lock on -> light turns on, letters are
normally again). As you can see, the caps turned off at "BUT" by itself. This
is not a joke, its really annoying. It takes up to a few minutes till the
problem is gone.
The following didn't help:
- typing setxkbmap into a terminal (was suggested in some forum)
- switching windows / turn off some random running programs like openoffice,
firefox, thunderbird, whatever
- slapping the keyboard
- buying a new keyboard...
- switching from a ps/2 to a usb keyboard (so ps/2 port is fine, too)
- pull keyboard and push again in (so kind of a "reset")
- pressing nearly all keys didn't help, too.
So this simply sucks (sorry). I stops me from working from time to time,
since even with pressed caps lock key, i only can type the normal
letters, signs like . or , are always upper case, so : or ;.
I don't know where the problem comes from, i also asked at irc a few
days ago, but only suggestions like replacing keyboard, which i have
done yet, doesn't help.
I got one error message once(!) when the problem occoured: atkbd.c:
Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio1. Some program might be trying access
hardware directly.
so something seems to be there, but i don't know what.
The problem occoured on 09.10, too, but only for one letter from time to
time (so i didn't notice the most of the time, only when having a
vnc/rdp session to some windows box for example, because after a few
times pressing the shift key, you'll get some notice about enable some
helping key functions or something like that).
would be nice to get this fixed...
REGARDS::: AND THERE IT IS AGAIN:::(CRAP)
SVEN
PS:
ha! i swtiched to console -> but not there, switched back to x -> problem gone
too - but this might not help and maybe the bug was gone by itself again, but
i'll try this again when it happens again, which will be within the next
minutes/hours i guess..)
PPS: this is the third time i try to report this bug, the other two
times i just got an oops from launchpad...
