(Note: I intentionally don't fix repeated characters cccaaaaauuuusssssseeeeeedddd by that issue in my message below)
I'm affected by ttthhheeeeee sssssssame issue. Initially I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. While installing it, I had to add ttttthe boot parameter "acpi=off" in grub settings (both for the installer andd for booting of the installed OS). Otherwise, I got a freeze on boot. AAAAaafter installation, I got this probleeemmmm. But next to issues with repeated keys, I got temporary freezes in firefox. I see that sometimes the caret is applicaatioooooonsssss flickers too fast (and that is when I get repeated characters). And other strange issues. I opened a clock application in https://www.online-stopwatch.com/online- clock/ and I saw that the speed offf the "seconds" needle is not regular, and it sometimes moves backwardssss bbbyyyy 10 to 15 seconds. There is really something wrong with system time. Then I have upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10, but it was the same (but I got additional issues because of the upgrade :( ). And the solution was the one from comment #356 from this thread ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/356 ), which adds a "clocksource=jiffies" boot option. I'm not done yet. Now I have a hang on Ubuntu shutdown ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/764568/ubuntu-16-04-hangs-on-shutdown- restart ), and the suggested solution there is ... forcing acpi in boot options :( I have no idea whether this issue is related my acpi issues. -- 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
