[Bug 553560] [NEW] Keyboard nearly unusable, x, w, s, #, 2 getting additional "~"

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

This is on Lucid Lynx (Updated last on 01.04.)

Summary:

the System is nearly unusable since the Updates from Yesterday (31.03.)
because the Keyboard runs mad.

Symptoms:

I'm not able to log in on all tty's, because I'm not able to enter the
Password correctly. With GDM it works. When I press "x" in a Terminal
Window, i get "x~", with the characters "w,s,x,#,2" it is the same.

In gedit, while writing, this is not happening.

Browsing is nearly impossible with FF or Chromium, every time I try to
write something and hit one of the characters described above, the Page
reloads. Also, I'm not able to access my gmail account.

As mentioned above, this came after the Updates from Yesterday. I'm not
completly shure if the Package is right, but the only other Updates that
could be the reason are "hal" and "libhal1".

This Text was created with gedit and pasted in the browserwindow.
Anything else was impossble.


I've read the note about using the command "ubuntu-bug -p xkeyboard-config", but Lucid tells me that the package is unknown and the parameter -p is deprecated, so: sorry.
