I am using ubuntu 20.04 and a big weird cancel icon pops up continuosly and letters can't be type at that time..It seriously giving me headache.How to solve it?

Edit:I figured out that when I enter some key(s) like f9 f10 f11 suddenly the icons pop out.But i don't know how to solve it.These keys works fine in bios or windows..but when i enter these keys in ubuntu..certainly the icon pops out. PS:I don't wanna leave ubuntu,i like linux environment. Please help me out.

That probably means some key that has no function in the desktop is being pressed. Likely a problem with your keyboard. – ChanganAuto Jun 05 '21 at 00:54

Does this answer your question? A weird cancel button keeps poping up and i can't type words properly – ChanganAuto Jun 05 '21 at 00:56

An hardware problem isn't solvable by software. – ChanganAuto Jun 05 '21 at 00:59
But everything goes fine on windows.why this thing in linux? – Sam Bae Jun 05 '21 at 01:01
First, figure out which key(s) cause the error. Remember that we are not there, so we cannot methodically try every key on your keyboard for you. – user535733 Jun 05 '21 at 01:03
And if it works in Windows that is something that should have been mentioned since the start. This is your third question about the same. – ChanganAuto Jun 05 '21 at 01:05
