** Description changed: - gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts stopped working. Specifically, Ctrl+Alt+t - no longer opens a terminal, my maximization shortcuts no longer work, - navigation shortcuts don't work. + Updated Bug Description + ======================= - The problem seems that gnome-shell 3.4 has switched to gsettings/dconf - for its keyboard shortcuts but Unity still uses gconf. System Settings - in Precise was patched to support gconf but it ought to support - gsettings also. + For Ubuntu 12.04, System Settings (gnome-control-center and gnome- + settings-daemon) was patched to continue to support the gconf keyboard + shortcuts used by Unity, Unity 2D, and the GNOME Classic sessions. + Unfortunately, GNOME Shell now uses gsettings keyboard shortcuts so + GNOME Shell ignores keyboard shortcut changes that get entered into + System Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + This should be fixed for Ubuntu 12.10 but it's too late and complicated + to fix for Ubuntu 12.04. + + One Workaround + ============== + Install dconf-tools + Run dconf-editor + Look in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings or org.gnome.mutter.keybindings + + Another Workaround + ================== + Set a custom keyboard shortcut. This is useful if you want to set Ctrl+Alt+F to open Firefox for instance. In System Settings, click Keyboard. Switch to the Shortcuts tab and click Custom Shortcuts at the bottom of the list. + + Click the + button and add a name to remember the shortcut and the + specific command you want to execute. Click Apply. Find the name in the + list and click the right half of the row. "Disabled" should change to + "New accelerator". Enter the keyboard shortcut you want to use. + + Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal and several other usual shortcuts from + Unity have been added to GNOME Shell on April 17. + + + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.3.92-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-20.32-generic 3.2.12 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.95-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 - Date: Tue Mar 27 07:07:44 2012 - SourcePackage: gnome-control-center + Date: Tue Mar 27 07:07:44 2012SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: - gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu4 - indicator-datetime 0.3.92-0ubuntu1 + gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu4 + indicator-datetime 0.3.92-0ubuntu1
