Hi All,
Sorry to start a new thread on this... but I, and others, are experiencing Alt + F2 "r" showing "command not found" at the prompt after upgrading to cinnamon 1.3.
I have now upgraded to 1.3.1 and I still have the issue. It's frustrating because everytime something goes slightly amiss on 1.3 I have to log out and back in.
Anyone got any inkling of a solution that will get the shell reboot starting again???
Many Thanks

Re: Alt + F2 "r" not working
just to be sure, you are pressing
r
and not
"r"
right?

Re: Alt + F2 "r" not working
Kind of a shot in the dark here, but isn't "r" just an alias for some other command? Maybe Cinnamon somehow managed to remove that alias. (I don't know if that's at all the case...but just a thought )

Re: Alt + F2 "r" not working
Brilliant... you're a super star!!! That fixed it.
I didn't change that setting... must have been the cinnamon 1.3 fairies.
Thank you.

Check Keyboard settings in Gnome control panel. There are shortcuts (this is probably under the "system")ab18 wrote:Alt+F2 is not working on my Mint 12..What to do?
