Is there really any reason why keyboard-configuration.postinst passes --force to setupcon? In Debian we do this in the Debian installer because it is running within a bterm and thus can't detect it's running on the Linux console. But we never do this for an installed system. Apparently Ubuntu took that code snipped and dropped the check for being running within the Debian installer, and thus erroneously run with --force when DISPLAY is empty (typically from unattended upgrades and such), with the resulting observed effects of this bug report. I guess Ubuntu wants to apply the attached patch ** Attachment added: "proposed fix" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1508146/+attachment/5227479/+files/patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508146 Title: Alt+left/right arrows switch between tty consoles (Gnome Shell vanishes), cannot disable Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm used to using alt+left/right arrow to navigate back and forward in web browsers and elsewhere (nautilus)...
