[Bug 520546] Re: Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

[Anders Kaseorg]

Carl: I’m not sure whether that “@Andres” was directed at Andreas or me
(I’m Anders), but I still believe the situation is explained by my
comments #31 and #33; it is not a mystery why this is seen only
occasionally.  The bug is triggered every time the console-setup package
is installed or upgraded: specifically, when dpkg runs console-
setup.postinst which runs ‘setupcon --force’.  You can reproduce either
by running ‘sudo apt install --reinstall console-setup’ or by running
‘sudo setupcon --force’ directly.  The problem is cleared by rebooting
or by logging out and in again.

Title:
  Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

Status in console-cyrillic package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug 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.
