Ok... so holiday delay... This latest kernel ran for over 7 days with only minor hiccups until just now when it went off the rails and started dumping random characters to anything that had focus, including vterms.
here's the uptime: 00:01:37 up 7 days, 14:55, 1 user, load average: 0.77, 0.86, 0.85 logs show strings of the atkbd messages appearing all along, but they usually clear up. after nearly 8 days though, they finally overwhelmed the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984265 Title: Keyboard becomes all but unusable after Precise runs for so long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/984265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
