Additional information: just by try + error I found out that to bring up the "log-off menu" in Lucid you have to:
1. press Ctrl+Alt+Del simultanously and 2. release Del before releasing Ctrl+Alt. Only upon releasing the "Del-key" the command is executed! This beheaviour is really strange, as all other key-combinations are executed upon hitting the keys/key-combinations like: Ctrl+Alt+L Ctrl+Alt+T Ctrl+Alt+ -> Ctrl+Alt+ <- Ctrl+Alt+F1 ... F7 ... The beheaviour of having to press Ctrl+Alt+Del simultanously for this action has been valid for decades (just in case somebody calls it a feature). The Lucid-beheaviour breaks well established compatibility, i.e.: in a VBox VM running Lucid as guest, you are no longer able to send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the guest. The above described sequence (react on release of Del while Ctrl+Alt still pressed) of course is not emulated by VBox, neither by "Host-key+Del" nor via the menu. In fact the command/keycodes is sent as usual (simultanously) and therefore not recognized by the guest (Lucid) . So this definitely is a bug in Lucid! -- keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+del highly unreliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
