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

[forteller]

I seem to have almost exactly the same bug, and it's been bothering me
off and on for many months now. The step to reproduce in the latest
comment here from @anders works for me. (I only checked 'sudo setupcon
--force')

The only differences that I have is that

1) Alt + F2 doesn't send me to a terminal, but to the GUI (and if I'm
already in the GUI then it opens the run dialog as you'd expect) and

2) Ctrl + Alt + F-buttons still work during this bug for me.

This is the kind of bug that makes me think twice before recommending
Linux to non-technical people (which to me is the most important people
to recruit), so I'm really hoping it will get fixed soon. Thank you all
very much for your work!

Let me know if I can be of any help with any logs or the like.

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.
