This is definitely a new regression for me in 18.04, I didn't suffer from it
before. Judging by the large numbers of new comments from 18.04 users, this is
likely the case for others as well.
Is there some way to signal this in the bug flags/metadata?
(I tried to report a new 18.04 specific bug
I can reproduce the bug in Ubuntu 18.04.1 by re-configuring keyboard-
configuration package (version 1.178ubuntu2.7) with DISPLAY being
unset/empty, e.g.:
tuomas@matta:~ 0 $ sudo DISPLAY= DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Never had this problem until recently, but seems to align with updates
being installed. Using 18.04.1 and yes, "sudo kbd_mode -s" seems to fix
it. Using Dell XPS 9350.

Happened again with console-setup 1.178ubuntu2.7 and keyboard-

Ran into this today on a relatively fresh (~1 week) install of 18.04.
Running "sudo kbd_mode -s" in terminal fixed it immediately. I think we
just need someone to test/refresh the originally submitted patch and
this can finally be fixed. (In the man page for kdb_mode: Note that in

The bug is STILL there (after 8 years of the first report!) and no fix and not
even a workaround is available?!
NO, rebooting is NOT an acceptable workaround!

The DISPLAY checks were not yet in place in 16.04 console-setup so the
bug probably happens a lot more frequently on it... would be nice if
they could be backported since it still has long period of support left
and this is extremely annoying. I'm starting to think there is some
other cause too

its not like control is pressed.

Yes, that much is obvious, and I said in my reply that we should
consider changing that case too.
I want to know if this is the *actual* cause of the bug for people,
because that affects the severity relative to a case where it is
triggering for people in a more normal course of action.

Just because DISPLAY isn’t set for the current process doesn’t mean X or
Wayland aren’t running. For example:
pkexec env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
configuration
still triggers this bug (because pkexec does not propagate environment
variables), and you can imagine

This bug is still happening and it absolutely certainly does not have
anything to do with mechanical issues.
Andersk already identified the exact cause in comment #31 also - and
it's absolutely trivial to verify that the offending "setupcon --force

Closing that old report running oldish settings/profiles. There is no
issue with recent releases; and the 'random' issue mainly point to a
'mechanical' keyboard issue (dirty/dusty one)

I seem to have almost exactly the same bug, and it's been bothering me
off and on for many months now. The step to reproduce in the latest
comment here from @anders works for me. (I only checked 'sudo setupcon

The only differences that I have is that

I ran into the same problem yesterday with my fresh Ubuntu Gnome 16.10
on my HP EliteBook 840 G4.
Alt + F1-F6 switched virtual terminals and Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6 did nothing.
And strangely Gnome was running on tty1. A
#sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
helped me out. I set
Alt + f4 usually closes windows for me. But from time to time, it
switches to tty 4. I am certain I am not accidentally hitting ctrl :)

When console-setup is configured, it runs ‘setupcon --force’, which
breaks the running X server in exactly this way.

This might have something to with the default setting
