[SOLVED ]Cannot switch to TTYs or back

Post by lordloh »

I am unable to switch to ttys by using the ctrl+alt+f1 .. f6 keys. The gettys are running and I can switch to the terminals with the sudo chvt 1 command. I hve browsed to quite a few topics and have not reached solutions that works. I even reinstalled grub with terminal=console. Once I make a selection at the boot menu, I do not see any boot messages - just KDE starting after a few seconds.

How do I fix this? :cry:

I managed to fix it. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/virtual-t ... t-working/ was a great help.

I entered the `kcmshell4 kcm_keyboard` > advanced tab > Miscellaneus compatibility option > and unchecked the special keys (ctrl + alt + <key>) handled in a server. Things went in place! I still would like to know where this setting is stored in configuration files.
