[Solved] IR Remote Keys Repeat Many Times Starting with Kernel 5.8.0-49
[Solved] IR Remote Keys Repeat Many Times Starting with Kernel 5.8.0-49
After pressing a key on my IR remote, the key is repeated about 500 times. Is anyone else having this issue?

Never ran the 5.8.0 kernel. Suggest you got to this and see if it fixes the problem.

Yeah my parents box suddenly started to behave oddly with each key press sending 100's of key presses causing the box to momentarily lock up making it unusable.
I just reinstalled the previous working kernel (5.8.0-48-generic) and adjusted grub to use that for now until they sort it out.
You can install any kernel using something like
If you want grub to load that kernel automatically one easy way, not necessarily the best way , is to edit /etc/default/grub
and change the GRUB_DEFAULT to something like:-
The entry numbers start at 0 so that means select the 2nd menu entry 'Advanced Options for Ubuntu' then the 3rd menu entry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-45-generic' in the grub menu.

Thanks Wes N and Paul H. To update this, kernel 5.8.0-52.59 appears to have solved this problem.

Just done an upgrade on Ubuntu 20.10 which upgraded the kernel to 5.8.0-53.60 and the problem is still present
Re: [Solved] IR Remote Keys Repeat Many Times Starting with Kernel 5.8.0-49
Check for kernels 5.10.0-xxxx available for your distro. Earlier ones are screwed up, but any after 5.10.0-1023 should be ok. At least this one works fine and they are available for 20.04LTS. Any kernel with a compile date from 09-2020 to 03-2021 has the potential of being screwed up depending on the compilers sources.AFAIK, All later 5.8, all 5.9, and early 5.10 kernels were screwed.

I just upgraded my FE's to 21.04 and all works fine with the 5.11.0-17 kernel. Another clean upgrade with no problems - well done Ubuntu

For Ubuntu Groovy (20.10) users affected by this bug, there is a request for someone to test a proposed kernel.

Re: [Solved] IR Remote Keys Repeat Many Times Starting with Kernel 5.8.0-49
I know this is a year-old thread but I am having the same issue with IR key-presses being repeated endlessly. I am on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS. I have tried multiple kernels installed via ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh. *All* show this behavior. I currently have 5.12.19-051219-generic installed.
Does anyone have a fix for this problem?
Edit:
Discovered that lircd was running in the background. I stopped and disabled lircd and the issue went away.

I am currently on 22.04, and experiencing it too. BUT ONLY if my IR receiver was plugged in at boot.
