Jorge, Thanks for this workaround. The repeating key problem is driving me crazy!
Can you tell me one thing? I am a Linux newbie. I'm running Mint 6.0, which is based on Ubuntu 8.10. I see that i can edit the file /etc/rc.local with gedit, but I am afraid of screwing up my system if I don't do it exactly right. Can you tell me exactly where in rc.local to put the line: kbdrate -r 25 -d 500 ? does it go at the end, or before the "exit 0" or where? You said that you just added the line to the file, but that is too vague for me to be able to implement your workaround. Thanks. -- [intrepid] keyboard Repeat Keys is failing to adjust https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
