For a solution that worked for me, you can look at the comment linked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764#c42
Pasting here: Create a new file in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ with a number prefix (the highest one in the directory, e.g. 01-no-a11y-keyboard) with the following content: [org/gnome/desktop/a11y/keyboard] enable=false Then run 'dconf update': this should create new /etc/dconf/db/gdm settings database. Then restart gdm... IMO this is a GDM bug that needs fixing upstream. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #816764 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41427 Title: "slow keys" can turn on surreptitiously & cause confusion.
