Public bug reported:
I posted some information on bug #549741 stating that I was getting similar
logs to what people were seeing in there, and was advised to go ahead and file
a bug. In dmesg, I get a pair like:
[ 529.926369] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d
on isa0060/serio0).
[ 529.926374] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[ 536.168508] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d
on isa0060/serio0).
[ 536.168512] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
This pair will be like 2-10 seconds apart, then it could be 5 minutes or
more between pairs.
I've been running 5.7.19 kernel (installed via mainline), but did boot
5.4.0-52-generic to file this since it's a supported kerenl (I seriously
doubted it would make a difference since this has apparently been logged
since at least the 2.6.x kernel series, and it didn't.)
I consider this bug pretty minor to possibly invalid; these keystroke
messages spam up the kernel log a little but not too badly (since I'm
not getting them every second like the original poster in #549741, but
rather getting one, getting another a few seconds later, then it may be
5 minutes or more before I get another pair of them a few seconds
apart.).
My battery packed up quite a while ago and shows 0% charge.. it has
begun every so often "dropping off" and back on a few seconds later,
both in gkrellm, and whatever app shows the battery icon in top right
(near network manager, volume, etc.) I think it sends this 0x8d each
time the battery status changes. Not sure what the point of the 0x8d
is, but it's harmless for Linux to ignore, it's well aware of the status
changes via ACPI anyway.
