Which versions of gnome-shell, libmutter-2-0, gnome-boxes do you have? Are you prompted for whether to let gnome-boxes inhibit shortcuts? You should get a system-modal dialog (the sort that dims the entire screen, like the Shut Down dialog you get from Ctrl+Alt+Del itself) something like this: |----------------------------------------------------------| | Boxes wants to inhibit shortcuts | | /!\ | | You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape. | | | |--------[ Deny ]--------------------[ Allow ]-------------| (If you don't click Allow then this feature is not expected to work.) Does it help to click inside the virtual machine window before pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del? If you try using virt-manager instead of gnome-boxes (the same machines should appear in both), does that work any better? Does sending Ctrl+Alt+Del via the keyboard menu work? Thanks, smcv
