** Description changed: 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. + 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.
