I have recently installed ubuntu 14.04 (and before that I had the same problem with 12.04) on a Dell inspiron 9400 Intel Core 2 Duo T7200. But when I am trying to type something the keys do sometimes not respond at all or the letter is repeated a lot in one short keystroke. for example: when typing "Hello" this can happen: " Hlllllllllllllo" The E in hello did not show up, and the second l repeated a couple of times. This didn't happen when I used a live usb boot. Does somebody have the solution for my problem, because it makes the computer almost unusable. Thanks in advance

Have you tried: System Settings - Keyboard - Select Typing TAB, adjust 'Key presses repeat when key is held down". Experimenting with Delay - try slide it a little to the right (longer). 'Speed' slider, will determine how fast it will retype, once the system understands you want to retype a pressed character, by pressing it 'long enough' following above mentioned setting.
