Title:
Ctrl-PrintScrn and Alt-SysRq are killing the processes in console
Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Affected keys (on key release time):
- Ctrl+PrintScrn
- Alt+SysRq
- Win+PrintScrn
- and similar like Alt-SysRq + 1-4,7-9,0 (which are ignored by kernel, even
these are documented in kernel sysrq.txt)
Exceptions: Alt+SysRq+5,6 (because these are only digits which are handled by
kernel)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Change to the text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1).
2. Log in.
3. Run: sleep 100 (or any other command like: cat, head, etc.)
4. Press Ctrl-PrintScrn or Alt-SysRq (and release the key).
5. Process get killed by: ^\Quit (core dumped)
What I expect is to change my log level of kernel messages by Alt-SysRq +
0-9 as documented at http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt
Or use any other shortcuts using PrintScrn key.
Normally the only keys which should be killing the processes are:
Ctrl+4 and Ctrl+\ but not the other.
Originally I've reported it here:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12478
But this doesn't happens on other distributions.
So I was advised to report key mapping issue to my software distribution
community.
