<PrintScreen> key locks up my keyboard in Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 2

Kenny_Strawn · 07-06-2010, 05:40 PM

Basically, whenever I press <PrintScreen> I cannot type anything and on some rare occasions my X crashes.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 2 on an Acer Aspire One AOA110-1545.

Still no replies? I want to know why this is happening.

I don't think many 'buntu developers are here on LQ. And you are running alpha software. I expect you know what that means.

Looks like you should join the 'buntu delveloper's bug tracker. See here for example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu

I recommend you "lurk" for a while, to understand how things work, before you launch yourself.

For example "Still no replies? I want to know why this is happening" after less than 24Hrs is unlikely to be well received.

Might be connected to the <print-screen> key, alternatively called <sys req>. Look at this thread:

or google for "reisub".

And I second tredegar's admonition.
