My attempts to boot up Windows to flash the BIOS completely failed. So, I sent my laptop to the Ideapad service center with a letter that contained a link to this thread and explained everything I tried to fix it.
I got a short letter back with my laptop saying that they simply flashed the BIOS for me. This seems to have solved the problem indeed; the delete key is working again. I only wish there was a way to flash a rom from the BIOS configuration settings (I heard that some Asus laptops do this) so that I would not dependent on Windows. But in the end, I am really happy with the way this problem has been resolved. TL;DR: problem is likely a BIOS software problem. BIOS update solves it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974455 Title: Lenovo u300s 't' key sends "Hiragana-Katana" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/974455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
