MMlosh, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc2 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs ** No longer affects: upstart (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067019 Title: Cannot switch VT [regression] Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I upgraded my machine to Quantal yesterday to capture the most bad stuff before the release. It works surprisingly well (well, the ugprade process quit two times because it couldn't configure some packages present in both amd64 and i386 variant, but nothing apt-get -f install couldn't easily fix) But I can't switch VTs, it simply doesn't do anything. in xev, only Key releases of XF86Switch_VT_[number] are reported and nothing happens. When I tried "sudo chvt 1", it just waits and never returns May it be related to plymouth being disabled and that weird "/bin/plymouth quit" showing in ps -A f ? (In Precise SLiM sometimes spawned on VT1 due to the vt switching black magic in ubuntu. With nasty results) Thanks for looking into it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1067019/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
