Public bug reported:

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

[  2355.404] (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.
