Found a workaround for this. First, find an unused modifier by typing: xmodmap -pm
My mod3 was free (so adjust the commands accordingly if you use a different modifier). Now type the following: xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock' After doing this, your scroll lock key will now work. You can now make this a permanent fix by adding the following line to /root/.Xmodmap (if the file isn't there, then create it): add mod3 = Scroll_Lock By putting this in root's Xmodmap, it will enable the scroll lock key every time X starts. -- Scroll lock does not work in X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
