I can reproduce the bug in Ubuntu 18.04.1 by re-configuring keyboard- configuration package (version 1.178ubuntu2.7) with DISPLAY being unset/empty, e.g.: tuomas@matta:~ 0 $ sudo DISPLAY= DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \ dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.1) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-33-generic And after running this Alt+F2 switches to VT2 even from X11. When switching back to X11 (with Alt+F1), it appears that the Alt+F2 also goes to X11, since the krunner popup opens (bound to Alt+F2).

The DISPLAY checks were not yet in place in 16.04 console-setup so the bug probably happens a lot more frequently on it... would be nice if they could be backported since it still has long period of support left and this is extremely annoying. I'm starting to think there is some other cause too because it seems to be much too common, why would console-setup's packaging scripts be ran all the time since the package itself updates hardly ever. Or does some trigger force that?

[Bug 520546] Re: Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2
OK. I think I figured this one out. If one installs console-cyrillic package and selects Unicode (utf-8) input and enables it at boot time, then the script cyr executes 'kbd_mode -u' at startup, whith /dev/console as the standard input. Running 'kdb_mode -u /dev/console' at any time triggers this bug. This is probably a problem in kbd_mode program of package kbd, which should not break the keyboard in X session. But in any case, the cyr script should apply mode change to all configured consoles, not to the one which happens to be its stdin. So, here is the patch for /usr/bin/cyr. The script is tested on Ubunut 10.10, with console-cyrillic 0.9-16 and kbd 1.15-1ubuntu3. ** Patch added: patch to /usr/bin/cyr that fixes the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-cyrillic/+bug/520546/+attachment/1899267/+files/cyr.patch -- 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-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug is still here, in 10.10. Very annoying! Submitted the same bug as Bug #730307 Disabling console-cyrillic at boot time solves the problem, but leaves console without Russian characters.

[Bug 520546] Re: Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2
Console-cyrillic just calls kbd_mode -u. This command alone produces the bug. The bug is easy to reproduce: do not install console-cyrillic, but simply add the kbd_mode -u command to /etc/rc.local. On the GDM login screen press Alt+F2, and you will switch to text console!

Can confirm the bug.
It happens on my laptop too (Kubuntu 10.04, Acer Extenza 5620z intel X3100).
The bug disappears when I disable KMS support ('nomodeset' kernel's option).
Also I found advice how to resolve the problem on the one forum.
You need to add GrabDevice option to the evdev keyboard, i.e. add to the
xorg.conf something like this:
Section InputClass
Identifier evdev keyboard grabdevice
MatchIsKeyboard on
Driver evdev
Option GrabDevice True
EndSection
It resolves the problem, but sometimes mouse is frozen after switching to vt7.

I had the same problem. ALT-F2 switched to terminal 2, ALT-F1 (not F7) switched back to GNOME GUI, CTRL-ALT-Fx did not work at all. At the same time all texts written in GUI application were copied into tty1 as well (these texts are visible during shutdown. This includes also cursor movements. tty1 showed repeating failing login prompts fed by characters entered in GUI. After pressing CTRL-C in GUI, GDM is restarted and everything is functioning normally. To me it looks like GDM is running in tty1 and keyboard mapping is confused.
