What happened to use control-alt-backspace to terminate X server?

In Wheezy, I used to be able to use dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration to (among other things) set the option to use control-alt-backspace to terminate the X server. But in Jessie, dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration asks no questions and makes no changes. What is the preferred

Thanks! Once upon a time, I knew that -- and even used it when I couldn't use Ctrl-alt-bksp for some reason. But I'd forgotten. It's good to be reminded. But the original question remains: What happened to dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration in Jessie? I recently posted

From my own limited experience with Gnome 3, I don't see what the big fuss is about. I thought it generally operated pretty much like Gnome 2 except it was missing some pieces that will probably show up eventually, as they did when KDE went from 3 to 4. The main thing I believe is that you

Or, abandon the desktop environment all together, and just go with a window manager, a panel and Debian-menu (I use Openbox and LXPanel). Where is Debian-menu? x@y:~$ apt-cache search debian-menu x@y:~$ apt-cache search debian | grep menu education-menus - Debian Edu menu reorganization menu

I finally got my drop down menus back by installing nautilus. But I still have no taskbar. I do NOT like the way this last upgrade to Wheezy went at all. I have never encountered the number of issues that came with this upgrade. Some folks may be ok with all the desktop changes, however I am not.

Welcome to GNOME 3, the desktop environment that attempts to solve a problem that isn't there and changes things for the sake of changing them. Perhaps you'd like MATE, which is a fork of GNOME 2. On Fri, 2013-06-28 at 09:28 -0500, John W. Foster wrote: I finally got my drop down menus back by
