I went ahead and followed this troubleshooting recommendation for completeness, but it didn't solve the problem.
After playing around with it some more, I have figured out that it has to do with interaction with the acpi interface. Here is my reasoning.... 1. acpi=off in the kernel parameters seems stops the bug. 2. when acpi is on, acpi is off and hal is off, the bug stops. 3. if either hal or acpid is on when acpi is enabled into the kernel, the bug is present (both acpid and hal interact with the kernel's acpi interface) 4. When I simply "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/status" the bug uncovers itself and is reproducable. This indicates that the bug is definitely in the kernel acpi interface when ever there is some sort of interaction with it. Since hal and acpid both poll/interact with it, the bug is produced. Do you have any idea as to why the kernel acpi drivers/modules/interface is doing this when I poll anything in /proc/acpi ? If we fix that, then I think we will fix this bug. For what it's worth, I'm a Senior Linux SA, however I don't have much experience with the ACPI kernel interface, so any advanced requests you may have would be okay. -Rick -- [Feisty] Keyboard repeats keystrokes like tttthiiiiiiiiiiiissss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99356 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
