One other note. Keys only get repeated while the cursor is already blinking very fast. What is the reason that the cursor blinks fast while no keys are pressed?

[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses
I've had this problem for several years and have finally found a workaround that works for me. My current system is: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS Advent wireless mouse (also happens with other mice, including wired) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. Disabled in "Mouse and Touchpad" application. The reason I use a mouse is that I don't get on with touchpads as I tend to catch them when typing, and even if I set the "Disable while typing" option, I find that I sometimes still accidentally move focus out of where I'm typing (really annoying). I suspected that the touchpad was causing the problem, even though it is "disabled". I have now covered the touchpad with a piece of cardboard, loosely taped into place. When the touchpad is covered with card, no problem. When the touchpad is not covered with card, I get the problem. Cover with card again, no problem. I suspect what is happening is that messages from the touchpad, when I accidentally catch it with a thumb while two finger typing, is somehow interfering with messages from the keyboard. If the key down event is lost or delayed, a typed key fails to register. If a key up event is lost or delayed, the key repeats. I have tried most of the suggested fixes in this thread and elsewhere, but so far the only solution that works for me is to physically cover the touchpad so that it is mechanically disabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39315 Title: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15/+bug/39315/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses
I went into my CMOS and it scrolls through the menus as well. I can control it by pressing on the left arrow key and it keeps it from scrolling on it's own to the right and the right arrow key will actually work when I actually press it. By the same token, I have to press down on the right arrow key in order to keep it from scrolling out of control to the left. I can do the same when I boot into Mandriva 2008. I could live with it because I can at utilize most of it but where it still annoying is when I want to use my spreadsheet application or when I am watching a DVD. This all seemed to start when trying to set my palm zire to sync, which worked in Mandriva 2006.

[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses
Guy Gong, you are not posting to a forum but to a bug report. As far as I can say from your description, you are not having the bug which is reported here. The bug was (in older versions of the linux kernel), that any key pressed was repeated or sometimes any key press was simply ignored. Your problem is that suddenly your right arrow key hangs and generates key press events. This seems to be a hardware fault (maybe dust or similar), as you experience this problem right at boot time (even in the BIOS). The bug which is described here only occurred at certain versions of the kernel. It didn't happen in the BIOS, nor in Windows.

[Bug 39315] Re: Keyboard random repeat and dropped key presses
Hello,
I have the same symptoms.
None of the options described above solve my problem.
In the meantime, I'm using a bad workaround (enabling repeat on some keys only
using xset, see at the end of the post).
Let me describe my problem :
I'm running debian-stable (etch) withe the latest kernel (2.6.18.5)
Cpu: pentium 4 (single core, no hyper-threading).
Box : Dell Optiplex GX260
Symptoms :
The keyboard behaviour is usually correct, but when I press a key with involves
some cpu calculation (more than displaying the key), then the systems behaves
like if the key was not released. It is seen released later. Typically the
key is ctrl-T on firefox (I get tons of new tabs), / (slash) on firefox (when
searching in a big page), ctrl-+ (this is horrible, I get a one huge letter
after a while on my firefox window with this), enter in dselect (debian package
management) on the search line (pressing / in the package list), ...
This does not happen in text-mode-virtual-console (with dselect).
This happens ONLY with 2.6 (any version from 2.6.15 up to 2.6.18), I
have NO problem with 2.4.
What I tried :
Lots of combinations of acpi=off noacpi nosmp no apic nolapic notsc irqpoll
noapictimer... (as described on a link above)
What I did not try :
Recompile a kernel with no smp and/or other PREEMPT config (the one shipped
with Debian has SMP and CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y)
For now I'm using this script where the list of number are keycodes which match
the keys for which I want to enable repeat (backspace, del, arrows for now).
#!/bin/sh
xset r on
for i in `xmodmap -pke|awk '{print $2;}'`;do
xset r $i
done
for i in `xmodmap -pke|awk '{print $2;}' | egrep -v 98|102|104|100|22|107`; do
xset -r $i
done
It is my office's PC so I have no much time to try everything.
I can live with this for now, but I'd prefer find a good solution. Maybe one of
you have found something different to try so far. I'll let you know if I have
time to recompile and try a new kernel.

Unfortunately, there is no BIOS update for my notebook (Dell D620). I've checked the DSDT, which didn't show any errors, so this shouldn't be causing problems. As I wrote in my report to bug# 64325, I can work normally only with kernel 2.6.15 (the one from dapper). I've even compiled kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.19rc2-mm2 myself (optimised for Intel Core 2 Duo) - but the problems described in both bug reports aren't solved with any of them. Additionally, I have disabled the boot splash screen (it causes a lot of problems regarding the keyboard issue) and I'm using the kernel option pci=assign-busses. I can't estimate whether this is an kernel- or an application-based (X or KDE) bug. Neither do I know what has changed from the kernel side from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17, so that this all happens. I have to point out, that problems regarding the keyboard only appear within X - but never on the VT. To sum up: 2.6.19rc-mm2, 2.6.18 and 2.6.17 only work if I use noapic and/or acpi=noirq, but with any of these options activated I've only ONE core, which is not what I desire. 2.6.15 (from dapper) works (having both cores), but I have to have disable the splash.

From what i can see, as others have stated, this is really a few different bugs, all with the same symptoms. Mine is this one: Affects: Users with Acer Laptops, or any other laptop manuf. that utilizes SBS (Smart Battery System) Fix: Remove the SBS ACPI module (sudo rmmod acpi_sbs). Now while this is technically a fix, it leaves a bit to be desired, especially for people like me who actually use thier laptop as a laptop. What you CAN do, should you feel so froggy, you could recompile your kernel to use custom DSDT tables and do away with SBS entirely. There is a good guide to do this here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 It was written for gentoo obviously, and on a gateway laptop, but with a bit of ingenuity you should be able to apply those instructions to ubuntu and acer.

The first thing everyone should do upon first install is open synaptic or run apt on the command line and install the proper kernel for thier architecture.

Well, in Edgy (AMD64), there is only linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic, so I can't simply install an non SMP kernel.

Sorry for adding so many comments in a short time - but this bug is just driving me nuts :-( I did some test with the noapic and acpi=noirq options. None of them for itself solves the problem, and not even both together, as I just found out. It's important to disable the splash options too! Not using the splash option makes the problem with the repeated characters much better (in this comment I had it just 3 times) - so somewhere the framebuffer (needed for the usplash) causes a problem. Additionally using noapic and acpi=noirq nearly makes the problem go away - but if you have a dual core cpu, only one core will be utilized. It would be great if others, who are experiencing this problems, could try out my suggestions and give feedback. Thanks! Is this problem maybe related to a special kind of cpu?

My very small contribution to Hug Day: I'm having the same problem on my Intel Core Duo Thinkpad R60e with Edgy Beta using both the built-in keyboard and an external USB keyboard. None of the following solutions work: * The i8042.nomux=1 line in grub's menu.lst * modprobe psmouse rate=40 * Killing gnome-power-man * I've tried killing every module with acpi in it. * plptools and tleds aren't (and have never been) installed. It also occurs in xfce, but not in the full-screen text-only consoles available via the Ctrl+Alt+1 to Ctrl+Alt+6 shortcuts. I've managed to fix the problem by downloading the linux-386 kernel from Synaptic and booting with that rather than Edgy's default linux- generic kernel.

Oh bummer, bugger, blimey... :( I found my culprit: It's the tleds package! How did I found out: At home I go online via WLAN, no keystrokes missing. That made me think. I remembered darkly from yesterdays installation of Dapper and browsing through software, that the tleds packages mentions a VERY RARE occurence of unusable keyboards while using tleds, but only for older laptops e.g Thinkpad 600 and some HP laptop or laptops with overly long cables. So I thought, come on, a Thinkpad like my R51 will be properly designed, shouldn't be a prob. Well, turns out, that this is not true. tleds by default only monitors only eth0.

If blacklisting does not work do this... sudo vi /etc/rc.local add these lines before 'exit 0' rmmod acpi_sbs rmmod i2c_acpi_ec this should remove the modules everytime you boot -- Keyboard random repeat https://launchpad.net/bugs/39315 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Unfortunately the bug still doesn't seem to be fixed. My impression was that it worked for some days but now the keyboard errors occur again. I don't have plptools installed, and blacklisting acpi_sbs and i2c_acpi_ec does the trick on my Toshiba laptop. Thanks for fixing..

Hello, I've installed latest updates for my Dapper and the problem still occurs, with no noticeable difference. Any other ideas ?

I have also installed the latest Dapper-Update with the new kernel, and there is also no difference - i still get the missing letters approximately every 20 seconds. My laptop is an acer travelmate 2303lm so the bug is not fixed for me. And if the bug 39315 is fixed now - the duplicate bug 37472 still exists, where the missing letters are described on an acer travelmate 2300. -- Keyboard random repeat https://launchpad.net/bugs/39315 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
