[Bug 1579190] Re: Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards
Hi Tim Passingham (tim-8aw3u04umo),
you are not using the patched kernel.
The patched is: 4.4.0-22-generic #40+lp1579190
And you are using: 4.4.0-24
What might have happened is that you installed the patched kernel and then you updated Ubuntu and 4.4.0-24 was installed and set as the default kernel.
So after you restarted your machine your OS is not running the patched kernel any more.
To run the patched kernel you either have to modify the default kernel in the GRUB configuration or explicitly choose the patched kernel on startup.
BTW, I'm running 4.4.0-22-generic #40+lp1579190 since few days without any issues.
Any chance for this patch to get into the Ubuntu 16.04 repositories?

Bug description:
I have a K520 Logitech keyboard and sometimes something starts to keep pressing key 5.
It mostly happens when I leave the computer alone for some time, but sometimes also just during regular usage.
It seems that this is a Linux specific issue as no one is complaining
about this issue under Windows, but a couple of people are complaining
for different versions of Ubuntu.
It is always 5 and WladyXX3740 claims on the Logitech forum that:
"happens on Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, does not happen on Ubuntu 15.04, probably kernel related."
Here is where most of the people are complaining:

I discovered that this is related to my Logitech keyboard by running this command:
xinput test-xi2 --root
Here is the device list:
