Up arrow gives print screen after upgrade Hardy -> Intrepid

[pinkunicorn]

After upgrading my Hardy machine to Intrepid, the up arrow on the keyboard makes a screen shot like the print screen button normally does. How do I fix this?

I had the same problem with my upgrade. I changed my keyboard layout using the "System > Preferences > Keyboard" select the layout tab and choose the "Evdev-managed keyboard". This fixed my issues with the arrow keys.

Hope this helps ya........

I've tried that, and it doesn't make any difference.

This problem still persists, and I've now seen it on three different machines I've upgraded, all on completely different hardware. It's getting a bit annoying, to say the least.

"apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-evdev" did the trick for me.

"apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-evdev" did the trick for me.

If I try that, it also wants to remove these packages:
ubuntu-desktop xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-all
xserver-xorg-input-elographics xserver-xorg-input-evdev

I'm pretty certain that allowing that won't make X work better... ;-)

Another alternative is to reboot the system in recovery mode, and get it to reconfigure xorg, which controls all the peripherals, including the keyboard.

This does the trick for me, without breaking all the dependencies
cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input
mv evdev_drv.so evdev_drv.so.save
