  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:

  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.
