'd' key causes shutdown
I'm a linux newbie, so please let me know if I missed any important details needed to diagnose the problem.
Problem: Whenever I hit the 'd' key in the Konsole shell, the system shutsdown. It is as if I hit a "Ctrl + D". When I hit the 'd' key when editing a file in KDevelop, it asks if the file should be be saved (is it interpreting it as Ctrl+D = EOF?). I have a windows box on the network and launched KDE gui shell remotely (via xserver). Even in this case, the 'd' key is swallowed.
Environment: SUSE Linux 9.3; PS/2 keyboard
What I tried: I switched a couple of PS/2 keyboards (swapping keyboards when the system is shutdown; no hot swapping)
My current workaround: I'm using PuTTY from a windows machine. I've also mounted my linux harddrive as a network drive and editing using VS and using PuTTY to build.
Is this related? I started up my linux box after a ten day hiatus and the system booted into maintenance mode. I ran fsck as advised and remounted the drive for R+W. After that I hit "Ctrl+D" to shutdown the system. The system worked normally after that, except for the problem with the 'd' key reported above.
Any ideas what may be causing this 'd' key trapping? Since the problem occurs with multiple ps/2 keyboards and even from a remote xwindows session, this may not be hardware problem. Probably some configuration somewhere...
