I have recently updated my Ubuntu to 17.10. After the upgrade, my keyboard is acting strange. If I select my default keyboard layout (Portuguese Brazil), for every key I type in, the active window freezes for 4 to 6 seconds, and afterwards the typed character is shown. The same issue happens If I have portuguese (Brazil) on my keyboard layout list, even if it's not activated.

If I set the input layout to English (US) and remove everything else, it works, but nos as smoothly as it should be. I still can see some delays between key presses, and it`s kinda annoying use a keyboard layout different from my regional one.

I've also tested with an external USB keyboard (with US layout), and the issue persists.

My current configuration is:

Is there anything ele I should test before reporting the issue? Any help would be appreciated :)

I had the same problem some days ago. Someone told me in private that you have the ^@ character printed every second on tty. That's a known bug in the peaq-wmi driver. Blacklist it and reboot.

  • Depends on your system. In my system I created the file /etc/modprobe.d/nowmi.conf with the contents blacklist peaq-wmi
