OK, I found the origin of the problem: In the lxpanel config file
~/.config/lxpanel/panels/panel, there is a plugin "volumealsa" which causes the misbehaviour. I just commented out the three lines # Plugin { # type = volumealsa # } and after restarting the lxpanel (logout/login), Alt-F2 works. However, the execution window appears unfocused, but this is dealt in bug #889414 (with workaround). This is a workaround I can live with, but still: By commenting out volumealsa, I do not have a volume indicator any more. Anyone knows, why the plugin volumealsa makes problems? Is it just, that I would need to install some additional package? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769644 Title: Alt-F2 (or "lxpanelctl run") doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/769644/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
