This is really a strange bug. Here is what I found: If I "alt+F2 + xkill" *right after login* after *booting*, it works.
This really is the only case where it works for me. I tried many times (more than 10 reboots last hour). Especially, it doesn't work: - when I retry just after it has worked - after logout-login: for some reason it only works on a "fresh boot" - when I open the dash, move the cursor "a lot"... it only works when this is the very first thing I do after login. Note that my system is up-to-date and that I don't know if this behaviour is new or not (I can't remember if I tried "alt+F2 xkill" right after login before). Well, I don't know what kind of log could help here... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737538 Title: Alt+F2 xkill does nothing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
