On the Latitude, you should check and make sure you are up to date on the latest BIOS. This type of issue was resolved by an EC and BIOS update.
I'm not aware of anything in Inspiron related to this, but first thing you should do is update BIOS in case there was a similar fix as the Latitude one that was applied. If it's persisting, see if you can reproduce it in EFI shell, WinPE or some other EFI applications outside Ubuntu. Which 3000 Inspiron is this? You can check /sys/class/dmi/id for more details if you don't know. If you can reproduce it outside Ubuntu I would recommend you contact support so they can work with the BIOS team to resolve it there. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-desktops-bounces On Behalf Of Michael Butash > Sent: Friday, September 9, 2016 11:30 PM > To: linux-desktops <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Linux-Desktops] page up key repeats a whole bunch times > when I press it once > > Oddly I have a Latitude e7220 that I get this on almost constantly > across all keys, that it'll just repeat to infinity on at times after > furious typing and/or backspacing.
