Well, what comes out of one of the keyboards now is ppppppppppppppppp.
In response to your pressing keys, or spontaneously?
Rapidly or intermittently?
I found the laptop "p"-ing when coming back after wiping, among other
things, baby drool in another room. My daughter is 19 months.
More specifically, I came back to a growing line of p's in an open text
document in Mousepad (the xfce editor). I did not press any key, nor was
the p's coming rapidly or intermittently. I just closed Mousepad.
Is this permanent (whenever you switch on) or just occasional?
It continued in Thunderbird, but less aggressive, kind of like at the
end of the walk with the dog (if the allegory still holds for another joke).
Or did it start mid-session?
I think more like mid session, but not sure. I have now put that laptop
on the shelf.
If something similar happens with this laptop, we can rule out baby
drool. I'm keeping it safe from now on.
But it also means I will have to stop testing things and instead find
for another mode of working with Debian.
After dpkg-reconfigure console-setup or keyboard-configuration?
Probably unrelated.
But you never know (full moons etc).
Best regards.
