Some of the keys suddenly stopped working like
s , x ,w etc …
I don’t know what is the problem but it seems some software problem .

To be able to test whether it’s a software problem or not, we’re going to switch to TTY2.
-
If you get lost, please remember Ctrl+Alt+F1 is your friend!
-
Print this page so you have it as a reference while in TTY2
-
Log off
-
Switch to TTY2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2
-
Log in there
-
Execute:
showkey
-
Press S X W on your keyboard
-
Don’t touch anything for 10 seconds!

If you do not get the exact same output as this:
kb mode was UNICODE [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ] press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)... keycode 28 release keycode 31 press keycode 31 release keycode 45 press keycode 45 release keycode 44 press keycode 44 release
you have a hardware error, not a software error: replace the keyboard.

If you would get the same, please shout out!
