Can't switch to console with ctrl+alt+f? anymore

i installed the lastest xorg packages and i am using fluxbox-cvs and i can't switch to console with ctrl+alt+f? anymore - any ideas?

no, but i did have to make that switch from keyboard to kbd to satisfy the new xorg config...i'll try all that but i am away from my box at the mo
thanks for the on topic post
(as much as i would like to flame oscar about his/her choice of wm...i can't be f*cked. aside from the slit hang problem i have not seen a bug in cvs that has remained for any significant time at all. besides, it's pre 1.0, it's allowed to be buggy)
.:after thought:.
fluxbox = overgrown bug
kde and gnome = overgrown
.:after after thought:.
i see you are a gnome user, how ironic you are,
ah...flame war!

Can't switch virtual consoles with Ctrl-Alt-Fn [SOLVED]

Pretty much exactly what is says in the title. I recently reformatted this machine, and everything seems to be working relatively okay, but for some reason Ctr-Alt-Fn simply doesn't do anything. I can't access my other virtual consoles, it's rather frustrating, and I have no idea how to proceed.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Okay, I didn't realize that chvt is the program that I want to run, so that's super helpful.
When I first tried to run that I got some error about not being able to read in file, and so I ran it as root and it worked fine.
So I added myself to the tty group, and now I get this error: chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
Interestingly, I only get this when I run it from a terminal emulator in X11. When I run it while still in the console just after boot, chvt works fine. Now I'm rather stuck again...

Opensource ATI can't switch video modes with CTRL+ALT+plus/minus

Hi,
I've updated my system to the new xorg-server and video driver.
The new video driver (xf86-video-ati-6.7.195-1) can't switch video modes with the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination. I use this key combination a lot and before I upgraded to the new driver this worked :-(
Anybody else having this problem?
I know I can use xrandr to change the video mode, but it doesn't exactly do what I want. Xrandr changes the video mode, but also changes the resolution of the screen, while CTRL+ALT+plus/minus keeps the resolution intact (the screensize is bigger than what is seen on the monitor, you can scroll the screen by moving the mouse "out" of the monitor)
Is there a fix/patch that I can try?

It looks like this is the result of the new opensource ati drivers use the new xrandr.
One of the changes is that it will treat the screen section in xorg.conf differently. Browsing through video modes, using the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination, that are defined in the screen section in xorg.conf is not possible anymore.

Can't switch VT's with Ctrl+Alt+Fx or Ctrl+Alt+backspace terminate

Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't seem to register. It's been a long term issue I have had for years. I've tried all the various fixes.
I can manually change to virtual terminals without issues using:
sudo chvt 2
Once I'm in a VT I can use Alt+Fx to change between them, until I go back into Xorg. So it's unlikely to be a graphics driver problem, most other people with similar issues complain of getting a blank screen.
Although without sudo I get
# chvt 2
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console.
I have the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/15-forcevt.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "always"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "false"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
A also enabled the terminate option in gnome-tweak-tool.
xmodmap -pke has the following:
keycode 67 = F1 F1 F1 F1 F1 F1 XF86Switch_VT_1
keycode 68 = F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 XF86Switch_VT_2
Nothing is printed in Xorg logs when I try pushing the keys.
I'm using SLIM (although I tried manually via startx), AwesomeWM (also tried fluxbox with a blank conf), nvidia (proprietary), UEFI.

I tried setxkbmap before without success.
Also tried:
localectl set-x11-keymap "us" "" "" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
Not sure how to go about using loginctl to do the same thing.

Cannot switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F?

Hi everybody,
I'm sitting in front of a fresh archlinux installation with kdemod installed. I notice that I can't switch to the terminals with CTRL+ALT+F?. I always used this kind of switching without configuring anything, so what could have gone wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions...
EDIT: by accident I wrote the german "STRG" instead of "CTRL"

i've got the same problem here
I can kill sessions via CTRL+ALT+BKSP and navigate from vt1 to vt2 etc.., but not from X to any other terminals!
Global shortcuts don't seem to work either, might be a related problem!?

Cannot switch to tty (terminal, console) with ctrl - alt - F#

Hi,
I have been stably using arch for half a year,
but never managed to switch to another tty.
I have three suspicions: one is that xmodmap somehow
interferes, as I switched capslock and ctrl, and also
alt and winkey (but that is not an issue on a fedora
install). second, that me switching into runlevel 5
in /etc/inittab somehow is responsible. and third, that
it has something to do with awesome, my window manager.
any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks!
> uname -r
2.6.31-ARCH
> awesome --version
awesome v3.3.4 (Mercury)
• Build: Sep 9 2009 18:32:37 for x86_64 by gcc version 4.4.1 (nobody@Miranda)
• D-Bus support: ✔

Hi all and thanks for the comments,
much to my surprise it was the easiest one - xmodmap causes it,
although on fedora, there is no trouble with the identical setup,
thats why i hadn't checked earlier.
after xmodmapping, alt, ctrl, and F# keys all work independently,
but not together.
So here goes my .Xmodmap (the 166/167 lines are for the
buttons lenovo introduced around the arrow keys and don't
always work as intended, so disregard).
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
add Lock = Control_L
add Control = Caps_Lock
keycode 166 = Prior Home Home Home Home Home Home Home
keycode 167 = Next End End End End End End End
remove mod1 = Alt_L
remove mod4 = Super_L
add mod1 = Super_L
add mod4 = Alt_L
Any ideas how to go on from here? Because often a
tty comes in quite handy....

When I close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete, I want to start over on Firefox, I usually do this when too many tabs and windows are open. However, Firefox always restores the tabs and windows I previously had. How can I stop that from happening?

This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.

Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

PulseAudio stops sounding when I switch to other display (Ctrl+Alt+F1)

Hello.
When I am playing any sound and I switch to a display (Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F2...) where I have not loged in or a am not loged with my default user account, the sound stops, and when I switch back, I continues sounding.
Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there a way to change that behavior?
Edit: After killing console-kit-daemon, sound works on all displays, but I think that it is not the best solution.

Can't switch virtual terminals with NVidia binary driver

I got a new laptop, with an NVidia 9800M card, put Arch64 on it, and put the nvidia driver on it. Right now, I'm using the default nvidia-xconfig --composite configuration, and X itself is working great. However, upon switching VTs with Ctrl+Alt+F1, I get just a black screen, with not even the backlight. I can, however, blindly type commands, and switching back to X with Alt+F7 works. Googling around, it seems that it is a known problem, and that somehow the driver is setting the display to an invalid video mode upon switching VTs. I tried a few proposed solutions, including adding different video= options to the kernel, and nothing has helped. What, if any, is the solution? Thanks.

Kill Session with Ctrl+Alt+backspace+backspace, doens't kill but disconnect

I've got 4 Oracle Solaris servers with SRS 5.1.2 installed. The servers are configured in failover configured in SRS. When I try to kill (terminate) a session with Ctrl+Alt+backspace+backspace the session will not be terminate. Instead of killing it will be in the state of disconnected on the Sun Ray Administration. I can only terminate the session if I'm on the Sun Ray Administration by selecting the session and click terminate. Does anybody has the same issue, if the sun ray servers are configured as failover?

A simple google for "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" yields https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=602885 as the first hit.
You could also use an xorg configuration file as is mentioned in the link you posted (a bit higher than the part you linked) and there is an entry for "XkbOptions".

Revolve 810 and behavior of the arrow keys with Ctrl + Alt

The behavior the left and right arrow key, in combination with Ctrl and Alt, is to modify the screen orientation. (Which can be help because the Revolve is easily confused.) However, I want to disable this behavior because I use those key combinations for other uses.
How can I disable this behavior?

I understand you want to disable the rotate shortcut keys.
It looks like it is using Intel, so I will provide the steps my Windows 7 system uses to disable these functions. They should be similar to Windows 8 as well.
Right-click the desktop and select screen resolution.
Select advanced settings.
Select Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile (wording may be different).
Click the Graphics Properties button.
Select Options and Support of the graphics control panel.
Disable Hot Key functionality and click apply then ok.
This should disable the hotkeys to rotate the screen.
Since the Revolve 810 is using an Intel graphics card similar to mine, the steps should be the same or similar.
Let me know what happens.

Can I switch my G3 with my husbands new G3s???

I am not eligible for an upgrade to a G3s until 2010. My husband is eligible now and we have purchased the new G3s due June 19th. I am the tech person of the family he is not. He has the original iphone. My question is can I give him my current G3 phone and take his G3s when it comes in. I want the new G3s all he wants is a G3 ( doesn't care much about the new features of the G3s). Would it be as simple as changing SIm cards or taking it to a AT&T store? I just want to switch phones. Thanks

I have the family plan as well. I have the 3g (not eligible for the subsidized upgrade) while my husband has the original iPhone (eligible for the subsidized upgrade).
I want the 3GS, my husband could care less if he has the original or the 3g. SOOOO, I will be purchasing the 3gs under my husband's line (which again, is eligible for the subsidized upgrade). I will then have AT&T switch the phone numbers so that my phone number is attached to the 3gs while my husband's phone number is then attached to the 3g. I've done it before with no issue, but still checked with AT&T to make sure that I could do that again once I get the 3gs. They said it can absolutely be done, no problem.
Hopefully, that wasn't too confusing and was of some help to you.

Can I switch SIM cards with my wife's iPhone?

I purchased a 32GB iPhone 4 and would like to use it without a case. But, and this just might be my imagination, when holding the iPhone, the edges of the back feel kind of sharp. The glass sits just slightly lower than the edge and I would imagine that's why. Just a cosmetic problem and nothing to get too riled up about at an Apple Store or to Apple Care.
I will likely be buying a second phone for my wife soon and it occurred to me that she will always have her phone in a case, so she could care less about the sharpness.
Is it possible to switch the SIM cards on our phones when she gets hers and I'll use the one without the sharp edge? How is that physically done? Do I just make a backup if it after hers is activated, switch the cards, and then restore both of them from the appropriate backup? We have Mobile Me and share email, calendar, bookmarks, etc. So besides for the media we basically have the same phone except for the phone numbers.

Yes, as long as they are both iPhone 4's using the micro sim, switching the sim card should work fine. If you are having problems with that, you can always call AT&T

Can't opened elevated prompt with ctrl-shift-enter

Here's an odd one. I've seen it several times over the last year on different computers - all Windows 7, but both Home Premium and Pro. I believe all were 64 bit.
When I type cmd in the Search Programs and Files box and hit ctrl-shift-enter, it opens an explorer window showing c:\windows\system32.
The same thing happens if I type cmd.exe and and hit ctrl-shift-enter.
If I type command and and hit ctrl-shift-enter, then I get the elevated prompt, as it should do.
Anyone know how to fix this? SFC comes up fine, the machine has been scanned for infections.
