Bug#793377: linux-image-4.0.0-2-amd64: USB keyboard losing keystrokes
Package: linux-image-4.0.0-2-amd64
Version: 4.0.8-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I recently upgraded from Jessie to Stretch, which bought along a
kernel upgrade from 3.16 to 4.0. After the upgrade - and a reboot - my
USB keyboard (TypeMatrix 2030) started losing keystrokes: typing at
normal speed, about 25% of keys pressed were lost completely.
This happened under GNOME. I tried on the console, and couldn't
reproduce the problem (I didn't try typing fast, mind you). I couldn't
reproduce the problem with the built-in keyboard of my laptop (Dell
XPS 13, 2014 model), either.
I have not tried switching to another DE, or WM. But I did try
downgrading the kernel to 3.16, and my woes are now gone.
I have no idea how to debug the regression, any pointers in that
direction would be helpful. I can provide dmesg output and whatever
logs you may need, if told to do so.
