I'd like to let you guys know that I am experiencing the same bug. It
doesn't *always* crash when pressing the '2' key on the alphanumeric
part of my keyboard, nor does it *always* crash when pressing enter, but
it does so often enough (I've had it happen 50 times already today) that
it makes me want to scream. In fact, is currently getting in my way of
getting work done, something my employee certainly won't appreciate.

I'm running Lubuntu 11.04. This behavior started today (I've been
running this setup for a few weeks now).

Title:
  pressing 2 or Enter terminates X server on live CD

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  On two machines with significantly different hardware (a VMware
  Workstation 7.1.4 build-385536 virtual machine and a Dell Inspiron
  E1505 laptop) running the Oneiric i386 20110616.1 daily-live (xorg
  /xserver-xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu1, xserver-xorg-input-evdev
  1:2.6.0-1ubuntu12) and US/English keyboard layouts, all keys work
  normally in X11 except for the Enter keys and the numeral 2 key on the
  alphanumeric portion of the keyboard. When either Enter key or the
  alphanumeric 2 key is pressed, the X server immediately terminates,
  and the following (taken from the VMware machine) is written to
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

  [  2354.948] (II) Power Button: Close
  [  2354.979] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
  [  2354.979] (II) Unloading evdev
  [  2354.995] (II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Close
  [  2354.995] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
  [  2354.995] (II) Unloading evdev
  [  2354.995] (II) VMWARE(0): VMMOUSE DEVICE_OFF/CLOSE
  [  2355.307] (II) VMWARE(0): VMMOUSE DEVICE_OFF/CLOSE
  [  2355.404] (II) VMWARE(0): VMMouseUnInit
  [  2355.445] (II) vmwlegacy(0): Terminating Xv video-stream id:0
  [  2356.052]  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

  This does not occur with the 2 key on the numeric keypad, which works
  fine with Number Lock on (and works fine as a down arrow key, when
  Number Lock is off). Pressing the alphanumeric 2 key while holding
  down either Shift key (in an attempt to produce a @ character) has the
  same effect as typing '2' without any other keys depressed (it
  terminates the X server). This does not look like a crash, and there
  is no crash data in /var/crash. As expected, in the Terminal, ^M
  (Ctrl+M) works in place of the enter key--to report this bug I ran
  apport-cli in a Terminal after causing the X server to terminate by
  pressing the alphanumeric 2 key. In a virtual console, after the X
  server terminates, the alphanumeric 2 key and the enter keys work as
  expected.

  While I triggered it in a unity-2d session this time around, I have
  also triggered this in a 3D Unity session (tested on the Dell Inspiron
  E1505), and in the graphical login screen (provided by lightdm) before
  any session has been started.

  This bug has occurred with (at least) the last few Oneiric daily-
  lives. It is not new as of the 20110616.1 CD.

  This occurs only with Oneiric live CD's; it does not happen on
  installed Oneiric systems.
