Sporadic shutdowns due to keyboard(?)

Hi all, my machine keeps shutting down randomly, but only when certain keys are pressed. sometimes ctl, fn, shift and arrow keys. this leads me to believe it has something to do with hotkeys. It is very sporadic some days not at all some days more than 3 times. very new to linux, just thought I'd mention that.

looking in journalctl im given this error:

Nov 24 12:22:38 arch systemd-udevd[158]: Error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE on device node '/dev/input/event6' (scan code 0x150, key code 190): Invalid argument

I've searched the webs and there is not many mentions of EVIOCSKEYCODE errors and not any resulting in crashes. Just don't know where to go from here or if that is even the problem.

Thanks in advance for any help

Re: Sporadic shutdowns due to keyboard(?)

Can you verify the problem with another keyboard?
This

Nov 24 12:22:38 arch systemd-udevd[158]: Error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE on device node '/dev/input/event6' (scan code 0x150, key code 190): Invalid argument

looks more as if you keyboard is somehow recognized wrong.
What kind of keyboard do you use?

I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do.  (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Re: Sporadic shutdowns due to keyboard(?)

Its a laptop keyboard for a dell pp90s - http://www.laptoppartsexpert.com/i-59256-keyboard.html unfortunately I don't have a usb keyboard laying around to test. 

$ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc104
layout:     gb
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+gb+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc104)
xkb_keymap {
    xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"    };
    xkb_types     { include "complete"    };
    xkb_compat    { include "complete"    };
    xkb_symbols   { include "pc+gb+inet(evdev)"    };
    xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"    };
};

^^ maybe this helps?
maybe have to change the keyboard model? - http://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-check … squel-mini
