Heya Brad, I assume this is a regression you are seeing only recently? Looks like you upgrade daily, do you know which day it first started happening?
Looking through the log for the past several days, it looks like you haven't had X updates since the 13th, nor really any updates to any package that I'd think could cause this. I've uploaded a reformatted view of the last couple days for you to peruse in case it sparks any ideas. I don't know what might be causing this, but can speculate on a few hypotheses you could test: a. Accessibility feature. I think there's some option you can switch on to make the keys make noise for accessibility purposes. no idea where that's set, but maybe it got inadvertently switched on for you somehow? b. Hardware quirk. Googling around, it appears there have been hw- specific issues where pressing several keys simultaneously causes it to start beeping. Presumably a system restart would reset the keyboard. There may also be hardware diagnostic tools available to help. See also http://trevornashkeller.com/misc/my-thinkpad-keyboard-beeps-bug-made-me- think/ c. Stuck key causing keyboard buffer limit to be hit. On a normal system if I hold down a key during boot, it'll fill the keyboard buffer and start beeping. Same thing can happen if a key is stuck. Swapping out the keyboard (or maybe plugging in an external keyboard on a laptop?) might reveal something. Even if a key is not physically stuck, it could be stuck or shorted in the electronics. d. BIOS setting. I've heard of systems with a 'Keyboard Click' option. Never actually seen it in the wild, but it could cause this if for instance your BIOS got set to defaults or something. Well hope the above is some use, and not just blather. Let me know how it goes. ** Attachment added: "upgrades.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/827520/+attachment/2290474/+files/upgrades.txt ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827520 Title: All keyboard input results in "beeping" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/827520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
