| Sam-L | Hello, I'm having a problem with my keyboard. Ubuntu only appears to be detecting two of the keys as being pressed. Does anybody have a moment to help me with this? | 19:16 |
| AlanBell | Sam-L: caps lock? | 19:17 |
| AlanBell | hardware issue? | 19:17 |
| AlanBell | you might find #ubuntu is a more general purpose support area | 19:17 |
| Sam-L | The keys are backspace and "menu" | 19:17 |
| Sam-L | well I asked in there and nobody has even acknowleged the question | 19:17 |
| Sam-L | The keyboard also works fine under XP | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | yeah, people tend to leave questions thye have no clue about :) | 19:18 |
| Sam-L | Excellent | 19:18 |
| Sam-L | Looks like I'm about proper fucked then | 19:18 |
| Sam-L | Thanks for the heads up | 19:19 |
| AlanBell | what is a menu key? | 19:19 |
| Sam-L | A custom key, I've seen it on a few keyboards, right hand side, next to CTL and ALT or windows key | 19:19 |
| AlanBell | oh right, the context menu thing | 19:20 |
| Sam-L | yah | 19:20 |
| AlanBell | is this a fairly standard keyboard? | 19:20 |
| Sam-L | I think so. It was marketed as a "gaming" keyboard, but really it's just a cheap USB keyboard with the frills you know | 19:20 |
| Sam-L | a Rosewill | 19:21 |
| Sam-L | I've been looking and poking around at this thing most of the day | 19:23 |
| AlanBell | usb keyboard presumably | 19:26 |
| Sam-L | yes | 19:26 |
| Sam-L | i ran /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event2 (from findkeyboards) | 19:28 |
| Sam-L | and it only gives a scan code for the two keys | 19:28 |
| Sam-L | it's not even detecting the input from other keys | 19:28 |
| Sam-L | Which is a bit ridiculous seeing as the BIOS and GRUB have no problem at all | 19:30 |
| AlanBell | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144132 seems you are not the only one | 19:32 |
| Sam-L | yup | 19:32 |
| Sam-L | to a fucking t | 19:32 |

| Sam-L | that is what i get for thinking ill get a nice keyboard for a reasonible price | 19:33 |
| AlanBell | yeah, fraid so | 19:33 |
| Sam-L | welp, i suppose ill be buying a new one then | 19:33 |
| AlanBell | support is probably going to happen at some point | 19:33 |
| Sam-L | im not gonna count on that | 19:33 |
| Sam-L | :/ | 19:33 |
| Sam-L | i cant type with the onscreen keyboard | 19:34 |
| AlanBell | I am not sure what the right place to ask about it is | 19:34 |
| Sam-L | for the rst of my life | 19:34 |
| Sam-L | lol | 19:34 |
| Sam-L | i dunno either | 19:34 |
| AlanBell | maybe #ubuntu-kernel | 19:34 |
| Sam-L | i guess i could try | 19:34 |
| Sam-L | see what they say | 19:34 |
| * AlanBell wrote some of the themes for onboard | 19:34 | |
| Sam-L | er? | 19:35 |
| AlanBell | the on screen keyboard | 19:35 |
| Sam-L | oh | 19:35 |
| Sam-L | ya | 19:35 |
| Sam-L | cool | 19:35 |
| AlanBell | I did the ubuntu theme, and typist and model-m (well some of model-m) | 19:35 |
| AlanBell | then the main developer got all creative with the pressing keys and shading :) | 19:36 |
| Sam-L | function then form or something | 19:36 |
| AlanBell | yeah, it is more of a "real keyboard on the screen" than an on-screen keyboard that you get on a tablet or phone | 19:37 |
| Sam-L | heh | 19:38 |
| Sam-L | i wouldnt use it if i were disabled but | 19:38 |
| Sam-L | it fills in for not having a working kb | 19:38 |
| Sam-L | in the most painful of ways | 19:38 |
| Sam-L | I'm not getting so much as a blank face in #kernel | 19:40 |
| AlanBell | well you probably won't this week, it is the Ubuntu developer summit | 19:40 |
| AlanBell | and then you need to hang around, people are in various timezones | 19:40 |
| Sam-L | yah | 19:40 |
| Sam-L | huge pita lol | 19:41 |
| AlanBell | they are all in Denmark at the moment | 19:41 |
| Sam-L | i feel like this is gonna be unresolvable at this point | 19:41 |
| Sam-L | otherwise and answer would be out there and I wouldn't be here | 19:41 |
| AlanBell | and probably at a bar in Denmark to be more specific | 19:41 |
| Sam-L | welp | 19:41 |
| Sam-L | thanks for your time | 19:41 |
