tty1: input overrun

February 14, 2011 by Igor Drobot 2 Comments

Some days ago I get logcheck System Events.

It was a remote Debian Lenny Server with some strange messages:

Feb 9 09:16:51 server getty[27096]: tty1: input overrun
This message means that someone is tipyng on the keyboard.

Stupid cat. Stay off my keyboard! :D

There was a USB keyboard, all keyboard and mice devices are listed here:
/dev/input/

    Thank you for this post. I was just troubleshooting this same error and was surprised at how little information I could find on it… until I found this post.

    It turns out I had the exact same problem! Damn cat was sleeping on the server keyboard in the server closet!

    I think cat is such a nutty!
