Also assigned to xorg-server, because Xorg should be intercepting Alt+KEY. If Xorg fails to do so and somehow the key events get sent to the VT then we get the unwanted VT's interpretation of Alt+KEY.
** Description changed: + WORKAROUND: + + sudo kbd_mode -s + + ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: + I'm running Ubuntu Lucid development branch. Pressing alt-f2 switches the screen to the second virtual terminal. Alt-f3 does the same to the third and so on. I expected alt-f2 to open the run dialog. I'm pretty sure that my keyboard is not malfunctioning as I can use all my applications normally. (Pressing O and Ctrl-O do not have the same effect.) I'm not sure which package I should file this bug against. I'll happily do an apport-collect once I know. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Summary changed: - Alt+KEY incorrectly behaves like Ctrl+Alt+KEY + Alt+KEY incorrectly behaves like Ctrl+Alt+KEY, and/or unwanted VT switch from Alt+Left/Right ** Also affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520546 Title: Alt+KEY incorrectly behaves like Ctrl+Alt+KEY, and/or unwanted VT switch from Alt+Left/Right To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/520546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
