[Bug 1067019] Re: Cannot switch VT [regression]

 

I haven't seen this issue for more than a year.

I applied all "disable plymouth" solutions I found on the web back then,
though.

Title:
  Cannot switch VT [regression]

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I upgraded my machine to Quantal yesterday to capture the most bad
  stuff  before the release.

  It works surprisingly well (well, the ugprade process quit two times
  because it couldn't configure some packages present in both amd64 and
  i386 variant, but nothing apt-get -f install couldn't easily fix)

  But I can't switch VTs, it simply doesn't do anything.
  in xev, only Key releases of XF86Switch_VT_[number] are reported and nothing happens.

  When I tried "sudo chvt 1", it just waits and never returns

  May it be related to plymouth being disabled and that weird "/bin/plymouth quit" showing in ps -A f ?
  (In Precise SLiM sometimes spawned on VT1 due to the vt switching black magic in ubuntu. With nasty results)

  Thanks for looking into it
