This is GREAT news! We have a hint to start with. i8042.c linux kernel source code defines more module parameters. The module parameter "direct" disables the scan code translation, but the module parameter "dumbkbd" completely disables the write capability of the kernel module to the i8042 controller and this actually makes the problem totally disappear! The only side effect I noticed by now is that the keyboard leds don't react anymore to the lock status (ie: the Caps Lock led won't turn on).
I think there is some configuration/setting keyboard controller doesn't like and makes it misbehaving, thus disabling completely the write capability solves the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532746 Title: SHIFT, ALT and CTRL problem with HP pavilion 15 ab062nl To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1532746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
