Hi, I think I know the same bug. The mouse pointer move itself to some of the corners of the desktop and frenetically click either left or right button while approximately one second. I can add that the keyboard may seem to press itself some of the last "really key pressed".
Of course.. all possible actions which were met in the mouse path happens : software close, some other "open with", gnome-session stop etc...) all that depending on what's on your desktop at this time (and the icons or applet in your desktop corners). All worked fine for several months ; I do apply all official updates as soon as they come and have just updgraded to Hardy as adviced here. (nice to meat hardy) The bug began for me near the 2008 march 15 (after an update?) # uname -a Linux armlis-desktop 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux syslog always says that à the exact time of "this event" : Mar 26 19:27:34 armlis-desktop kernel: [17987.676881] psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - bad parity Mar 26 19:27:37 armlis-desktop kernel: [17990.868239] psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log_lspci-vvnn.log.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12905602/dmesg.log_lspci-vvnn.log.tar.gz -- ps2 mouse erratic - parity errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119194 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
