[Bug 520546] Re: Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

[Andreas Enk]

@Carl Mueller
I ran into the same problem yesterday with my fresh Ubuntu Gnome 16.10
on my HP EliteBook 840 G4.
Alt + F1-F6 switched virtual terminals and Ctrl + Alt + F1-F6 did nothing.
And strangely Gnome was running on tty1. A

   #sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

helped me out. I set "UTF-8" and "Latin2".
Now everything is working fine.
Just Gnome is still running on tty1.

Title:
  Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

Status in console-cyrillic package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm running Ubuntu Lucid development branch.

  Pressing alt-f2 switches the screen to the second virtual terminal.
  Alt-f3 does the same to the third and so on. I expected alt-f2 to open
  the run dialog.

  I'm pretty sure that my keyboard is not malfunctioning as I can use
  all my applications normally. (Pressing O and Ctrl-O do not have the
  same effect.)

  I'm not sure which package I should file this bug against. I'll
  happily do an apport-collect once I know.
