Ubuntu only appears to be detecting two of the keys as being pressed. Does anybody have a moment to help me with this? [19:17] Sam-L: caps lock? [19:17] hardware issue? [19:17] you might find #ubuntu is a more general purpose support area [19:17] The keys are backspace and "menu" [19:17] well I asked in there and nobody has even acknowleged the question [19:18] The keyboard also works fine under XP [19:18] yeah, people tend to leave questions thye have no clue about :) [19:18] Excellent [19:18] Looks like I'm about proper fucked then [19:19] Thanks for the heads up [19:19] what is a menu key? [19:19] A custom key, I've seen it on a few keyboards, right hand side, next to CTL and ALT or windows key [19:20] oh right, the context menu thing [19:20] yah [19:20] is this a fairly standard keyboard? [19:20] I think so. It was marketed as a "gaming" keyboard, but really it's just a cheap USB keyboard with the frills you know [19:21] a Rosewill [19:23] I've been looking and poking around at this thing most of the day [19:26] usb keyboard presumably [19:26] yes [19:28] i ran /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event2 (from findkeyboards) [19:28] and it only gives a scan code for the two keys [19:28] it's not even detecting the input from other keys [19:30] Which is a bit ridiculous seeing as the BIOS and GRUB have no problem at all [19:32] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144132 seems you are not the only one [19:32] yup [19:32] to a fucking t [19:33] !language [19:33] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:33] that is what i get for thinking ill get a nice keyboard for a reasonible price [19:33] yeah, fraid so [19:33] welp, i suppose ill be buying a new one then [19:33] support is probably going to happen at some point [19:33] im not gonna count on that [19:33] :/ [19:34] i cant type with the onscreen keyboard [19:34] I am not sure what the right place to ask about it is [19:34] for the rst of my life [19:34] lol [19:34] i dunno either [19:34] maybe #ubuntu-kernel [19:34] i guess i could try [19:34] see what they say [19:34] * AlanBell wrote some of the themes for onboard [19:35] er? [19:35] the on screen keyboard [19:35] oh [19:35] ya [19:35] cool [19:35] I did the ubuntu theme, and typist and model-m (well some of model-m) [19:36] then the main developer got all creative with the pressing keys and shading :) [19:36] function then form or something [19:37] yeah, it is more of a "real keyboard on the screen" than an on-screen keyboard that you get on a tablet or phone [19:38] heh [19:38] i wouldnt use it if i were disabled but [19:38] it fills in for not having a working kb [19:38] in the most painful of ways [19:40] I'm not getting so much as a blank face in #kernel [19:40] well you probably won't this week, it is the Ubuntu developer summit [19:40] and then you need to hang around, people are in various timezones [19:40] yah [19:41] huge pita lol [19:41] they are all in Denmark at the moment [19:41] i feel like this is gonna be unresolvable at this point [19:41] otherwise and answer would be out there and I wouldn't be here [19:41] and probably at a bar in Denmark to be more specific [19:41] welp [19:41] thanks for your time === morphis is now known as morphis|away
