[Bug 1508211] Re: ALT-Left/Right changes VT from X

 

Kived, as per http://support.hp.com/us-
en/drivers/selfservice/HP-2000-2b00-Notebook-PC-
series/5296210/model/5305080 an update to your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS is available (F.46). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  ALT-Left/Right changes VT from X

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently, pressing ALT-Left/Right has started switching VTs even when
  X is active. This was not a problem with 15.04. I don't think I had
  this issue when I initially upgraded to wily development, either, but
  I think it was an update I installed in the past few days.

  It does not seem to happen immediately after booting, and I am able to
  use ALT-Left/Right without issue (in Terminator and PyCharm, for
  example), but then at some point it will start switching VTs.

  I'm filing this bug against xwayland, because it's the running X
  server. It shouldn't be - I chose 'GNOME' rather than 'GNOME on
  Wayland' from GDM - but that is what is running. Since I can't seem to
  run without Wayland, I can't test any other way.

  Another user noticed this only happens with multiple monitors. I use
  multiple monitors as well, but haven't tested with only one monitor
  since the bug is not consistently reproducible.
