I also experienced the exact symptoms of the bug, combined with a bunch of other problems (sound crackling, system freezes).
This workaround fixed it all together for me (ubuntu 10.04, 2.6.32-36-generic): http://jannepikkarainen.fi/clocksourcejiffies-ja-ubuntu-910-hidastumiset-pois Quote: --- in /etc/default/grub change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clocksource=jiffies" Then enter sudo update-grub and reboot. See if your problems are gone. --- Unfortunately that triggered another bug: hd-audio0 eats up 20% of my cpu, but that's another story. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 Title: Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/emacs/+bug/124406/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
