The default sysctl setting for kernel.sysrq in Ubuntu is 176 (and was in
bionic and xenial) and it is shipped in /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-
sysrq.conf file. This file is provided by a required package from the
minimal task, called `procps`.

176 enables:
128 - allow reboot/poweroff
32 - enable remount read-only
16 - enable sync command

Do you have `procps` package installed on your system?

Is anything else overriding that setting?

If that setting is not suitable for you, I recommend to either modify
/etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf or to add another .conf drop in, with
a higher number in /etc/sysctl.d directory to suit your system better.
