Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.0 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

Device is touchscreen and has no keyboard/mouse attached. Upon logging into Unity desktop, Ubuntu acts as if the Enter/Return key is being pressed and held. Tapping the Ubuntu logo to open the unity dashboard results in hundreds of instances of Home folder being opened until i either manually restart or the computer crashes. Opening terminal window is pointless because enter is being "held" and it just returns to a new line without being able to type anything. Opening any application results in whatever the default button (if any) being depressed by Enter. Ubuntu behaves fine if you physically connect a keyboard and press the enter button. Software updates current as of 12/25/2012. No proprietary drivers are found for the system. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 2) The version of the package you are using: na 3) What you expected to happen: to be able to use Ubuntu on touch based x64 computer 4) What happened instead: unless physical keyboard/mouse is available, OS is useless on EP121 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093811/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
