** Description changed: On my new Acer TravelMate P453-MG notebook the special keys (euro-key, dollar-key) are not working. According to "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting"; this is a bug of type 4b, i.e. too many keypress events for a key. I cannot find why/where this happens because of a lack knowledge. When I hit one of these keys I expect to get just one scancode/keycode. Pls give some hints on how to narrow it down. What happens: "sudo showkey -s" returns "^[[2;3~^[[4~^[[1;3B^[[1;3A0x38 0x52 0xd2 0x4f 0xcf 0x50 0xd0 0x48 0xc8 0xb8" for the euro-key and "^[[2;3~^[[2;3~^[[6;3~^[[1;3C0x38 0x52 0xd2 0x52 0xd2 0x51 0xd1 0x4d 0xcd 0xb8" for the dollar-key. "sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i /dev/input/event4" "scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt scan code: 0x52 key code: kp0 scan code: 0x4F key code: kp1 scan code: 0x50 key code: kp2 scan code: 0x48 key code: kp8" for the euro-key and "scan code: 0x38 key code: leftalt scan code: 0x52 key code: kp0 scan code: 0x52 key code: kp0 scan code: 0x51 key code: kp3 scan code: 0x4D key code: kp6" for the dollar-key. BIOS is up to date. OS is up to date. This is repeatable on ubuntu 12.4(liveCD), 12.10, 13.4(liveCD). Sorry, I dont know how to find the affected package (and its version). thank you Christian + --- + ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu10 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC2: derc 2284 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC1: derc 2284 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: derc 2284 F.... pulseaudio + DistroRelease: LinuxMint 14 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=8e8c54ab-a8fa-4dbd-9241-08a03b3c258f + InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-02-21 (101 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 14 "Nadia" - Release amd64 (20121120) + MachineType: Acer TravelMate P453 + MarkForUpload: True + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcFB: 0 VESA VGA + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic root=UUID=b48a5aca-fad0-4476-977a-504a7fedb59b ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.95.1 + StagingDrivers: rts_pstor + Tags: nadia staging + Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 + UnreportableReason: This is not an official LinuxMint package.
