I was physically talking to the assigned kernel maintainer when it was
reported, so all possible tests have been performed. However I have
not seen any updates or received any requests from the canonical team
about this issue since then. I had actually uninstalled Ubuntu as of
couple of weeks ago out of frustration, so I cannot currently update
you the issue.

However in my research I found that it does relate to a keyboard
detection script that only exists in ubuntu, I will reinstall ubuntu
tonight to test what will happen when it is deactivated or changed and
will report any successes or new findings to the bugs system and you.

With some luck I may be able to resolve it myself.
