Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Hi, since upgrade to lucid i got this problem more often and more "dramatically": >From time to time it looks like caps lock is enabled (without showing the caps >light btw!): LIKE AT THE MOMENT *NARF* I CANNOT TURN IT OFF (BUT if i turn caps lock on -> light turns on, letters are normally again). As you can see, the caps turned off at "BUT" by itself. This is not a joke, its really annoying. It takes up to a few minutes till the problem is gone. The following didn't help: - typing setxkbmap into a terminal (was suggested in some forum) - switching windows / turn off some random running programs like openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, whatever - slapping the keyboard - buying a new keyboard... - switching from a ps/2 to a usb keyboard (so ps/2 port is fine, too) - pull keyboard and push again in (so kind of a "reset") - pressing nearly all keys didn't help, too. So this simply sucks (sorry). I stops me from working from time to time, since even with pressed caps lock key, i only can type the normal letters, signs like . or , are always upper case, so : or ;. I don't know where the problem comes from, i also asked at irc a few days ago, but only suggestions like replacing keyboard, which i have done yet, doesn't help. I got one error message once(!) when the problem occoured: atkbd.c: Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio1. Some program might be trying access hardware directly. so something seems to be there, but i don't know what. The problem occoured on 09.10, too, but only for one letter from time to time (so i didn't notice the most of the time, only when having a vnc/rdp session to some windows box for example, because after a few times pressing the shift key, you'll get some notice about enable some helping key functions or something like that). would be nice to get this fixed... REGARDS::: AND THERE IT IS AGAIN:::(CRAP) SVEN PS: ha! i swtiched to console -> but not there, switched back to x -> problem gone too - but this might not help and maybe the bug was gone by itself again, but i'll try this again when it happens again, which will be within the next minutes/hours i guess..) PPS: this is the third time i try to report this bug, the other two times i just got an oops from launchpad...
