Description Alex Lurthu 2006-01-31 05:40:08 UTC

HI,
  I downloaded the open suse iso, from the site yesterday and tried installing it. Throught the installation process save screen shot widow kept poping up randomly which was awfull. After 6 long hours of cancelling each popup of the screen shot window , comepleted the installation. When i logged into the system after installation the moment i press shift key the gnome-screenshot pops up again and it keeps forking new processes of itself in huge volumes. The system hangs the keyboard stops responding. The vfs file-max reached error message is seen in the var/log/messages.

The machine is a compaq presario 2100 laptop.

Thanx
Alex

No idea to which process the popup belongs to.  It happens during
installation process, though. Nevertheless, never seen that therefore
this is not critical IMHO.

You seem to have a problem with your keyboard - it looks like the PrintScreen key is stuck, or at least the keyboard driver keeps sending key events for that key.

Please check with "xev" - start it in xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole or similar.

If you move the mouse pointer into the "xev" window and NOT press the PrintScreen key, you should not get an event from that key:

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x115, subw 0x0, time 407070969, (103,59), root:(1201,850),
    state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

If you get any, then you have a problem with your keyboard. This is what I suspect.

Thanx for the timely response.

This looks very much like a hardware problem.
Please reopen this bug when you switched back to SUSE Linux and the problem persists.
