[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1579190] Re: Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards
I'm experiencing this on a K350 keyboard, on 4.4.0-21-generic kernel (fresh install of Linux Mint 18 Sarah / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). I usually see the problem after changing windows by clicking on one in the panel. As the new window takes focus, the ...555's start flying. Another curious symptom: occasionally, pressing the number "5" key while typing does not output anything. It just happened while I was typing this sentence. But after having read all the above posts, I am going to try a kernel upgrade now. For some reason Mint has marked the kernel updates as "unsafe" which why I'm still on the release kernel of 4.4.0-21-generic. I will report my results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579190 Title: Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Wily: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: I have a K520 Logitech keyboard and sometimes something starts to keep pressing key 5.

Thanks Viktor. Following my post #65... I've been running kernel 4.4.0-47-generic for a week now and the problem has not come up once. So for my part, the kernel update has fixed it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579190 Title: Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Wily: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: I have a K520 Logitech keyboard and sometimes something starts to keep pressing key 5.
