[Bug 1067019] Re: Cannot switch VT [regression]

[Joseph Salisbury]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?  Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.9 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both
the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.  
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Cannot switch VT [regression]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded my machine to Quantal yesterday to capture the most bad
  stuff  before the release.

  It works surprisingly well (well, the ugprade process quit two times
  because it couldn't configure some packages present in both amd64 and
  i386 variant, but nothing apt-get -f install couldn't easily fix)

  But I can't switch VTs, it simply doesn't do anything.
  in xev, only Key releases of XF86Switch_VT_[number] are reported and nothing happens.

  When I tried "sudo chvt 1", it just waits and never returns

  May it be related to plymouth being disabled and that weird "/bin/plymouth quit" showing in ps -A f ?
  (In Precise SLiM sometimes spawned on VT1 due to the vt switching black magic in ubuntu. With nasty results)

  Thanks for looking into it
