Afterwards it happens again and I have to issue again the command. * Issuing "rmmod atkbd modprobe atkbd reset=1" (via ssh) fixes the 2 problems for a while and the "a while" ranges from 0 (basically no fix, so I retry the command again until it works) to several minutes or sometimes even hours. * Some days they do not happen at all, other days they happen a lot (sometimes even every few minutes!) Other than that I observed a few things about these 2 problems: When that happens, I will flash it and post the results. Pcspecialist is waiting to receive from the manufacturer of the chassis (a company named CLEVO) a proper bios update (not a downgrade) hopefully in a few weeks. and that actually downgraded(!) my bios (including the KBC/EC Firmware) and did not solve my problems.
I downloaded from laptop seller's website (.uk) a bios "update" and flashed that. I think I saw at least several times when this happens the following in the journal right at tye moment when it happens: Without starting the windows 10 virtualbox, this second problem never happens.Īll the packages in my arch system are up-to-date. I also want to mention another problem, just in case that it is related to the above one, or perhaps even caused by the above one or having the same cause as the above one: in addition to dual booting, I also run sometimes windows 10 in a virtualbox machine inside arch and each time when I run that machine, after a while my keyboard dies completely both inside virtualbox and outside it and I can only fix it by rebooting the laptop. I am opening another thread hereby because I saw another SOLVED thread where a BIOS update solved the problem, but like I said above, this does not look like a BIOS problem, because I do not get this problem when I boot in windows 10. Also I got this problem both in cinnamon and xfce. I also tried the nouveau driver and still got the repeating problem. I am using the latest nvidia proprietary driver from the “nvidia” pacman package. My laptop configuration: a CLEVO P670RE6 chassis having an AMI bios (BIOS version 1.05.11TPCS1, KBC/EC Firmware Revision 1.05.06, ME FW Version ), Intel Core i7 Quad Core Processor 6820HK (2.7GHz) and a hybrid NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M card. This does not happen in windows (I have dual windows 10 / arch booting on my laptop), which suggests that there is something wrong with some linux drivers and not with the BIOS. The only way to stop it is to restart the laptop. When it happens, I cannot stop it even if I press the repeating key. I get randomly on my new laptop into the situation where a random keyboard key starts repeating indefinitely, like if it was physically stuck, but it is not.
