ADM4 Update Broke Keyboard

[bacaro]

Hi All,

I've been looking literally everywhere, but this is the only thread on the internet. I'm having a problem with keyboard (AS6302T), when I start typing it constantly writes something like e.g. in browser's URL text field:
iiiiiiiiijjjjjjjjjjj
With previous ADM everything worked fine (currently ADM 4).
I've checked /usr/local/AppCentral/xorg/xorg.conf and nothing suspicious

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
        Driver          "kbd"
EndSection

I've searched for keyboard under input devices and it looks good:

Code: Select all

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=404c Version=0111
N: Name="Logitech K830"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:15.0-2/input2:1
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.2/0003:046D:C52B.0003/0003:046D:404C.0004/input/input4
U: Uniq=404c-03-81-5c-60
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd leds mouse1 event4
B: PROP=0
B: EV=12001f
B: KEY=3f000301ff 0 0 483ffff17aff32d bfd4444600000000 ffff0001 130ff38b17c007 ffff7bfad941dfff ffbeffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
B: REL=1943
B: ABS=100000000
B: MSC=10
B: LED=1f

what makes me curious is "Video Bus", which is recognized also as kbd

Code: Select all

I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0006 Version=0000
N: Name="Video Bus"
P: Phys=LNXVIDEO/video/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event5
B: PROP=0
B: EV=3
B: KEY=3e000b00000000 0 0 0

I've checked with following python code against input event4

Code: Select all

import struct 
f = open( "/dev/input/event4", "rb" ); # Open the file in the read-binary mode
while 1:
  data = f.read(24)
  print struct.unpack('4IHHI',data)
  ###### PRINT FORMAL = ( Time Stamp_INT , 0 , Time Stamp_DEC , 0 , 
  ######   type , code ( key pressed ) , value (press/release) )

and it returns proper keys when I press the keyboard. Seems like something injects to kdb device constantly letters, that's why I started to think about that "Video Bus" and kbd.

I'm completely stuck, any suggestions?

PS. I'm running myHD, but it experiences exactly the same issue when I run firefox.

Hi,

If you run myHD; do :
open a terminal (ssh) connect as root / your_admin_password
IF you have deactivated admin user (so root)
connect using your own_admin_user / your_user_password and run : sudo su - root ... when password is require use your_user_password

enter :
myHD_astr
then test keyboard using for ex. xinput or xev ...
ex. :
xinput test-xi2 --root (then type on keyboard)

BUT before test with another keyboard or clean your actual keyboard ... because I don't get this problem with last ADM update on ly NAS (half_broken AS50, AS66, AS52
my keyboard are Logitech K340 (unifying) ... or Rii8 mini

On a Windows11 PC I had similar problem due to a key glued (external heat) ... so as in lot of software or O.S. repeat mechanism is started after pressing a key 2 seconds+ or compose key (crtl / alt / etc.)
