[BIOS Bug] Enabling Fn/Ctrl swap breaks [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Up]

Hello all!
I'm very used to the standard keyboard layout, where the ctrl key is on the very left. Therefore I enabled the Swap Fn/Ctrl key option in the BIOS of my Lenovo Edge 11 AMD (2545A12, Bios 1.08).
Unfortunately this has the effect, that a very specific key combination is no longer working: Ctrl+Alt+Up
Ctrl-Alt-Down/Left/Right keep working as ususal. The problem does not happen with disabled key swap option.
This clearly seems to be a bug to me. Any hints on how to receive a fix?
Thanks & Regards
- Ben

I doubt this is a software/Linux problem. Same effect here under Fedora 15/Gnome: There this key combination is the essential as the desktop is only vertically oriented.
Can anybody try to assign this key combination in Windows, enable Fn/Ctrl swap and report if he shares the problem there?

  • Left ctrl+alt+u​p arrow issue

    Have a rather custom setup, believe this to be a BIOS bug.
    When the Fn and Ctrl keys are swapped in BIOS, Left CTRL+ALT+UP arrow doesn't do anything unless or until you release either CTRL or ALT.  At that point it sends a single keypress event with no repeat.  To send another, you have to release and re-press all three keys down again and release ctrl or alt again.  Rather annoying on Linux with multiple workspaces and switching them with ctrl+alt+up/down
    Right CTRL+ALT+UP works fine.  Any combination works fine such as left CTRL and right ALT and up, or switch them.  It's just when you use left ctrl and left alt and up that it doesn't send anything.
    Left ctrl+alt+down/left/right all work fine - it's only the up key that doesn't send keypress events.  Also works fine with an external keyboard.
    I run Linux on my twist, and debugging with xev or even just cat'ing the keyboard input device shows no keystroke sent upon hitting the up arrow while holding down left ctrl and left alt.  So this isn't a software issue by any means.

    You are not alone, bad news is that it's not a Twist issue, affects several models and some quite old too...

  • Thinkpad S540 possible BIOS bug concerning WOL

    I have had a Thinkpad S540 for a few months, and have it installed as dual boot Windows 8.1 and arch linux.  After completely shutting the machine down from linux I found that the battery would be down to around 70% charge after three days unused, and decided to investigate this problem since it was not reasonable for a new battery to lose charge at anything like this rate.
    By chance I came across a piece of information concerning the issue of disabling WOL (Wake on LAN) on the network interface, since I had seen one report that by default WOL is enabled and this requires power to be going to the network interface even when shut down in order to be able to respond to magic packets to start the machine up when it is shut down.
    First I checked the BIOS WOL setting and found it was set to "AC only" by default. So I changed it to disabled. This machine has the latest available BIOS version 1.54.
    However on investigating this after rebooting in linux I found that 
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    enabled
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: g
    So WOL was still enabled despite it being set to disabled in the BIOS!
    I learned that I can make sure that in arch linux the WOL setting can be changed to set to disabled after bootup by using a udev rule:
    # cat 70-disable_wol.rules
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="enp3s0", RUN+="/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp3s0 wol d"
    Then rebooting the machine I checked the WOL setting and it really is disabled now:
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: d
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    disabled
    So I then ensured that the battery was 100% charged and shut down the machine and left it two and a half days - rebooting this morning the battery was still at 100% charge and no longer discharges unnecessarily when the machine is switched off,  so this is a clear indication of a bug in the BIOS for the WOL setting - it is still enabled despite the BIOS saying it is disabled!
    How do I report this to Lenovo so that they can fix the BIOS and release a new one that is working?
    I am aware of other users with different Thinkpads who seem to have the same problem, so this may be more widespread an issue than just on the S540.  
    It is also not just an issue with the battery running down when fully shut down but will likely also be a problem for a machine in suspend mode since the network interface may be consuming a watt or so of power when in suspend, which will again run the battery down at an unacceptable rate.
    I cannot imagine any use case where it would be necessary to have WOL enabled on a laptop that is mostly going to be used mobile - so having the default setting to AC only enabled, and having a BIOS bug enabling it when it is explicitely disabled is a serious problem.

    Anyone running windows in the same laptop can check the same issue of battery drain due to WOl being enabled by default - in the Device Manager under the network card, opening the settings menu for the ethernet wired card the default for Wake-on-LAN on my computer was set to enabled. This can be changed to disabled, and you may need to also disable the setting for Wake on Magic Packet. Also in the Power Management tab it is possible to uncheck the settings for "Allow this device to wake the computer" and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer"
    In my laptop these were all set to enabled by default.

  • T440s fn ctrl swap bios bug

    Hi,
    I think this was documented before, but I am now experiencing the fn ctrl swap bug when going to sleep.
    I have swapped my fn and ctrl keys, and the setting never stays after resuming from deep sleep.
    I have updated my bios to the latest version (2.19) but it has not fixed it.
    Please advise. I do not want to turn off deep sleep.
    Cheers
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for reporting this.  Yes, I can confirm it is BIOS bug.  We had this same issue on T430 generation and fixed it.  But now it seems T440 generation also suffers from this same bug, needs fix.  So I will report this to BIOS team.  Sorry for this inconvenience.

  • [SOLVED] enable Ctrl+Alt+L to lock?

    I just installed and configured gnome after moving from ubuntu on my netbook, and I always used Ctrl+Alt+L to lock my workstations. How can I enable this in Arch? I installed the xscreensaver package based on a tip I found elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks!
    Last edited by pythonscript (2012-05-27 13:42:32)

    If you use gnome-screensaver, launch "Keyboard Shortcuts" in your preferences menu and change the shortcut.
    If you want to use xscreensaver see http://justlinux.com/forum/showpost.php … ostcount=7.
    Or you could have just spent a minute googling.

  • K8N Neo FSR, possible BIOS bug: setting Vcore with Cool'n Quiet enabled broken?

    Athlon 64 3400+, socket 754
    K8N Neo FSR, Pheonix-Award BIOS V1,5
    WinXP SP2
    Having Cool'n Quiet disabled in BIOS setup, CPU core voltage adjustment
    using 'Adjust CPU VID' below the Athlon 64 default 1,5V core voltage
    works like a charm. Fine!
    But with Cool'n Quiet enabled in BIOS setup (and WinXP), under load the
    CPU core voltage raises to 1,5V in any case, independently of what I did
    define in BIOS setup with 'Adjust CPU VID' (e.g. 1,4V). Software tools setting
    Vcore like Core Center are not running.
    So I can choose to either run a silent system in idle mode with Cool'n Quiet
    enabled or under heavy CPU load with Cool'n Quiet disabled but Vcore
    reduced :-( Am I missing something or does it rather look like a BIOS
    bug?

    As undervolting is not considured standard operating proceedures then how can it be considured a bug.
    nor is overclocking but MSI mobo manual reads 'This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.'
    So this mobo is designed for supporting at least one non standard operating procedure 
    Seriously, if BIOS offers a feature I suppose it to work as expected.

  • BUG: Ctrl+Alt+ number to switch modules only works with number pad

    Really annoying, since this worked nicely in the beta. If, for example, you hold down Ctrl+Alt+1 (pressing 1 on the top row of the keyboard) to switch to the Library Module, it doesn't work. If you use 1 on the numeric keypad, it works fine. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, try using the number pad on a laptop - you either get to use the number keys or the regular keys, so this shortcut is essentially useless on anything other than a full-size keyboard.

    Windows treats Ctrl + Alt shortcuts as special. They are used as hotkeys for desktop icons, and if a key is used for that purpose, it overrides any use within a program. I did a little research, and setting a desktop hotkey to 3 will cause your LR symptoms, where you can't used the normal numbers and have to use the keypad to switch modules. On the other hand, you'd probably be seeing the effect of using the non-number-pad keys (they'd launch a program), so it's a mystery.
    In my testing, I noticed that the Firefox browser uses that key combination to switch between its tabbed sessions. If you're running that program, you could test to see if it exhibits the same symptoms.

  • Ctrl-Alt-drag for brushsize also moves Canvas. Bug/problem

    Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem with Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (Macbook Pro).
    I've used the ctrl+alt+mousedrag shortcut for changing brush size for some time, but a few days ago it started acting weird. (I have no clue what provoked it)
    If I hold ctrl+alt keys down and move my mouse around, the entire canvas follows the mouse (independent on fullscreen) around.
    However if I hold ctrl+alt and click once with the left mousebutton before moving the mouse, then keep holding down ctrl+alt it will act as normal and I can use the cursor to get the brush-settings the way I want it without the canvas moving around. But it is still annoying me because this is something I do very often, and thus it is really messing with my workflow.. And I know it hasn't allways been like this.
    I've tried dumping the settings file, but not yet a full reinstall as I am hoping there might be a fix for this.
    Thanks,
    Steffen

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I just figured out what is causing this and came back to post it.. You were on the right track!!
    I recently downloaded a beta of something called HyperDock (http://hyperdock.bahoom.de).. Disabling that application fixes the issue.
    Goodbye hyperdock - welcome back ctrl+alt+drag!
    //Edit: Seems there is a setting in hyperdock that I can turn off, so it can run witihout messing with the shortcuts.. It is actually a decent app if you tend to use a lot of windows. 

  • Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Again.

    I couldn't be bothered to fix this at the time and need to fix it now.

  • Post Code 9A Error, 990FXA-GD80, Bios bug

    After Bios B.40 i got same strange bug, sometimes when i load a oc profile my pc get stuck at 9A error and the only thing that i can do to recovery is use ctrl+home to recovery it, clear cmos is unless.
    After a lot of tests to try understand what was happening i got the answer.
    My CPU is a X3 710 (waiting for bulldozers) so i always use the unlock cpu core feature. I used this x3 with unlocked core for 2 years without any problem, so the locked core is good.
    If i load a oc profile with unlock cpu core feature enabled from a already unlocked stage, everyting is ok, but if my bios seting "unlock cpu core" is disabled and i load a oc profile with it enabled my pc do 6 beeps, restart and get stuck at 9A post code.
    I have sure that in Bios B.30 this wasnt happening.

    Guy, did u see me asking anything about overclock?
    I was talking about a bios BUG that can damage the mainboard, and a lot of ppl cant recovery their bios like i did.
    I posted to help ppl with same issue and alert others to avoid it.
    I informed MSI about it using the right channel.
    Ty for help me bump this topic.

    Hello!
    Overclocking questions go somewhere else.
    If you don't absolutely need to update BIOS to solve a problem, resist the temptation.
    And if you do... Go back to the version that made you smile!  
    We ask people to state the max ampères the PSU can do. There is a list on the PSU box.

  • 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.

  • X randomly crashing, cannot ctrl-alt-bksp

    The first crash was a couple of months ago, and I will admit I just ignored it, especially since it didn't crash again for about a month. Then I was starting to think I might have a problem and did a bit of research. I thought turning off compositing might be the solution so I did that and it still crashed about a week later. The crashes were so dispersed that I just forgot about them, but I think I have to do something now.
    Recently I installed xdm. The problem is, now when X crashes, xdm tries to get X to run again, and it goes into an endless cycle of crashes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work, Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring me into a terminal, and manually powering off is the only way to get out of it. Before I installed xdm; after it crashes I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go into a virtual terminal and reboot. (Rebooting seemed to be the only way to get it working. There were no X or xorg processes running after the crash to kill, and I couldn't startx again.)
    I also noticed that I'm definately not the only one with this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere (that works for me):

    No, I don't have ndisswrapper. (I have a laptop but I never use wireless so I haven't set it up yet.)
    I don't believe this is a hardware problem, because I run Windows on the same computer and have never had this problem on it.
    Also I should note that now X is slow to start. Before (a couple of years ago) I could type startx and then I'd immediately be in X, but now the screen turns black and flickers a little before going into X. X has had this problem ever since I returned to Linux.
    While it is going to be hard to find an immediate solution to this, does anoyone know how to get the magic sysreq key working in Arch? I have a very good feeling that the magic sysreq key could save me from manually turning off the power, but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. Would I need to compile a custom kernel? (I sure hope not)

    I have saved my xorg logs from right after the crash, but I don't see anything funny in them (well I'm not really the person to ask) and they are too big to fit in a post. If they are required I can try to find some way to show them.

    Hi
    Did that fix you?
    I have been having the issue for a while, seems pretty random though I suspect virtual-box and/or wine to be tricker, but I have seen it crash without either, I think.
    Anyways, black screen, lose keyboard, cold boot.

    Don't feel like downgrading kernel or update to beta drivers if it's not the pit at all.
    edit;
    running nvidia beta (180.16) for a week or so, no crash, happy it seems to be the fix but not impressed at all.

  • [Solved]No X, No Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, cant get to console...HELP!

    I did a new install and went for the ext4 option, I installed everything I usually do but went with nvidia-xcofig rather than the usual Xorg -configure, now having set everything up all I get is a blank screen, I cant ctrl alt backspace to get to console and mt laptop just reboots after about 10 seconds or so.
    I have Mint installed on another partition hoping that I could get into rc.conf and ! out gdm but ext4 isn't supported! lol
    What do I do, I'm well and truely stumped!
    I left arch for 4 days as I got tired of things breaking but had to come back, I miss my arch, well until this peach of a problem came up
    Thanks

    What would I need to edit rc.conf for?
    to comment out gdm!!
    I hope you have installed hal and  read the news about disabling autoadddevices, enabling ctrl alt backspace with DontZap etc

  • Ctrl Alt Insert

    I'm trying to send CTRL+ALT+INSERT through any VNC session. Ive tried on both Remoter Pro and Real VNC, but I can't find any keyboard combination that works on MAC without having to use Parallels. The purpose is, I need to send CTRL+ALT+DEL over VNC to a PC running vmWare Player, which requires CTRL+ALT+INSERT.
    Ive found various key combinations to test, mostly giving me only the Insert function, but I need all 3 together. I'd even settle for a virtual keyboard or app that would do it for me.
    Can anyone help? I'd also like to mention I'm still fairly new to Mac. Thanks

    what's the bios version? look in bios setup, system info and paste here what's showed there.

  • Oracle Linux 6 - stuck on Welcome Setup Screen, black screen on CTRL+ALT+F*

    Oracle Linux 6 DVD x64.
    Installed fine. I selected gnome for UI + all dev packages as I will be doing some dev work on the box.
    After install it boots okay and the Welcome setup screen shows up. It allows me to setup connection to ULN, create a user, enable kdump etc. These functions work fine, but right after I finish setting it all up (i.e. the last setting I see is the kdump enable/disable screen), the box goes into limbo state after pressing [Finish] button.
    The screen turns black and that's it.
    Also when I tried to switch from the Welcome setup screen to a terminal mode, i.e. by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 (tried ...+F2 also) the box gets stuck too. There is no way to go back to the X session, i.e. CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7, F8). It is just stuck on the black screen.
    Here's some specs:
    Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M Pro (with B3 revision of Sandy Bridge)
    CPU: Intel I5-2500 (VPRO) (BX80623I52500)
    Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (compatible with m/b + run memtest86 for hours without error)
    Video: using built in Intel HD (could this be the issue?)
    After re-boot I'm back to Welcome setup screen.
    Notes:
    1. Boots fine if 'singleuser' is appended to the kernel boot line in GRUB, but that's not the point. I would like to run UI.
    2. I have tried removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' kernel boot parameters to no avail. I have actually stripped the kernel boot line in GRUB down to 'ro' and that would not help either.
    3. Ubuntu 10.10 x64 runs fine.
    4. Windows 7 x64 runs fine.

    You may have a hardware or system bios issue in combination with the existing drivers. Have you checked the vendors home page for your system? What clues exit in the log files in /var/log?
    It sounds like you are using a Latop. Oracle Linux, like RHEL is not designed for desktop and mobile computers. Installation success will depend on your hardware compatibility, but you will very likely be missing appropriate drivers for wireless, video and power management.
    If Enterprise Linux is a requirement and you are not using it as the primary OS, or if the computer hardware lacks support, how about installing Oracle Virtualbox and install Linux as a guest OS - I'm pretty sure this should work.
