I always keep my system up to date, but reboot it not very often. After an reboot the repeating input (if you hold down a key) of the keyboard stoped working. After some test with live image and so on I can give the following facts.

  1. its not the keyboard (tried another one)
  2. Its all keys (even backspace - what is really annoing)
  3. It depends not to my user
  4. it depends not on the Desktop
  5. IT DEPENDS ON MY INSTALLATION (live image works fine)

When I start a terminal session via Strg+Alt+F1 then it constantly fills the input with this: "^@" so after a while it looks like

"^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@"

In the GUI it does not show this BUT I'm sure thats the problem.

Could not find anything online - so I hope anybody of you can help me out!

My system: LinuxMint 18.3 (based on Ubuntu 16.04) Kernel: 4.13.0-32-generic

I found a solution for now.

Switching back to Kernel 4.10.42 fixed that issue. So it's somehow the Kernel 4.13 (I tried several Versions of it and all fail) that couses the issue.

As WinEunuuchs2Unix commented there are some possibility to fix this. See comments above. Thanx!
