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

[Anders Kaseorg]

Just because DISPLAY isn’t set for the current process doesn’t mean X or
Wayland aren’t running.  For example:

pkexec env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
configuration

still triggers this bug (because pkexec does not propagate environment
variables), and you can imagine any number of other ways this might
happen, like packagekit or unattended-upgrades.

Title:
  Alt-f2 switches to virtual terminal 2

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

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.
