Public bug reported: Affected keys (on key release time): - Ctrl+PrintScrn - Alt+SysRq - Win+PrintScrn - and similar like Alt-SysRq + 1-4,7-9,0 (which are ignored by kernel, even these are documented in kernel sysrq.txt) Exceptions: Alt+SysRq+5,6 (because these are only digits which are handled by kernel)
Steps to reproduce: 1. Change to the text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1). 2. Log in. 3. Run: sleep 100 (or any other command like: cat, head, etc.) 4. Press Ctrl-PrintScrn or Alt-SysRq (and release the key). 5. Process get killed by: ^\Quit (core dumped) What I expect is to change my log level of kernel messages by Alt-SysRq + 0-9 as documented at http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt Or use any other shortcuts using PrintScrn key. Normally the only keys which should be killing the processes are: Ctrl+4 and Ctrl+\ but not the other. Originally I've reported it here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12478 But this doesn't happens on other distributions. So I was advised to report key mapping issue to my software distribution community. ** Affects: binutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Affected keys (no release time): + Affected keys (on key release time): - Ctrl+PrintScrn - Alt+SysRq - Win+PrintScrn - and similar like Alt-SysRq + 1-4,7-9,0 (which are ignored by kernel, even these are documented in kernel sysrq.txt) Exceptions: Alt+SysRq+5,6 (because these are only digits which are handled by kernel) Steps to reproduce: 1.
