Testing unity-session in 18.04

Project Discussion Ubuntu Unity Development

The old issue is back. The new bug is this:

Workaround:

  1. press and hold Print Screen
  2. press and hold Alt
  3. release Print Screen (and then Alt)

This seemed to work for me, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

This could be systemd issue. What happens you disable the “Magic SysRq Key” using sudo sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0. Does it work for you?

This also has something do with 1683383 (key press vs key release) where Ubuntu removed 5 years old patch from xorg.
