[Test Case] [racb] Note that upgrading to the fixed package will not fix the problem for affected users; you must reboot (or restart X) as above. The fix only prevents the problem occurring again. * Ssh to a system or open a terminal and unset DISPLAY $ echo $DISPLAY $ * Check kbd mode, should be raw (set by kbd_mode -s) or unknown: $ sudo kbd_mode The keyboard is in some unknown mode $ sudo kbd_mode The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode $ * Install or reinstall kbd-configuration $ sudo apt install --reinstall keyboard-configuration ...

[Original Bug Text] WORKAROUND: sudo kbd_mode -s ORIGINAL 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.
