Is there something that is happening to the keyboard mapping? My
keyboards require a function key to be set to use the Function keys. Is
this being reset when Mate starts?
showkey can be used to see if they are working.
On my keyboard, if the F lock button is not pushed, then the keys send
anything.
xkeycaps as well.
My KB is the laptop's KB (Dell Latitude E6500)
There is no F-Lock key that I can see.
Tried showkey and pressed Cntrl-Alt-F2
# showkey
kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]
press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
By the above warning, it seems useless to try showkey under X
But here goes ....
Trying them from my machine...
keycode 29 press
That's correct for the left control key
keycode 56 press
That's correct for the left ALT key
keycode 60 press
Looks OK for the F2 key on my machine. Note that it also echoes
"^[OQ" when I press F2.
keycode 60 release
keycode 56 release
keycode 29 release
And still no effect.
If you're trying to get to a text console, please make sure the
getty.target service is running:
# systemctl status getty.target
If it's not running, then the system won't spawn an agetty for the
console you're trying to get to. IIRC, getty.target is wanted by the
multiuser.target, so if you launched X by some means other than via
a multiuser boot, then that's likely your problem.
