I had this issue as well with a USB keyboard. It drove me nuts until I found out it was a bug; this really should have a higher priority than it's been given.
The kbdrate fix didn't work for me. The xorg.conf fix worked but only if I kept the changes in; I couldn't enable them temporarily and then disable them as some posters could. I opted for enabling Slow Keys (per Sarath in message #18) plus running a startup script containing the three xset commands (listed by Ricardo Perez Lopez in message #41). -- [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
