[opensuse] CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 don't work after reboot
Weird thing - when I reboot my computer (which rarely ever happens) I cannot switch to tty1-6 because CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6 don't do anything. I use Gnome2 and GDM, and it already doesn't work in the GDM login screen. The only solution: ssh from another computer, init 3, wait, init 5, and then it works. Until the next reboot. What could that be?

which openSUSE version? I vaguely remember this problem reported time ago. Perhaps you should search bugzilla.

There is another solution: set the computer to boot in runlevel 3. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

which openSUSE version? 11.2 x64_64 I'll browse through bugzilla reports tomorrow, maybe I'll find something, thanks.
There is another solution: set the computer to boot in runlevel 3. That's not a solution, that's a huge step back right into the 1990s ;) In other words: no, booting into runlevel 3, then logging in and starting the GUI manually is not an option.

I've always done and do it like that way. It's even faster. And you can twiddle stuff with wrapper scripts such as using different environments or different config file(set)s. But each to his taste, it's a good thing[tm] that one can choose. Oh, next time: try using a Windows-key instead of Ctrl+Alt. With either one or both of 11.1 and 11.2 those were IIRC the default keys for the XF86Switch... function. You can change that via KDE/Gnome stuff or the Xmodmap. I'll look it up in my ~/.Xmodmap (of the box running 11.2) if you need it. -dnh PS: you know there's opensuse-de? -- "...you want a .sig with that?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'll give that a shot, thanks.
PS: you know there's opensuse-de? Yeah. So?

And your method of sshing from another computer to do init 3 is better? That is what you said: ] The only solution: ssh from another computer, init 3, wait, init 5, and ] then it works. Until the next reboot. What could that be? Frankly, booting into runlevel 3 saves you at least two steps from your "solution" :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Well, maybe I should have mentioned that I'm not looking for a solution from the past. You can't be serious if your only suggestion is to simply boot into runlevel 3. That's not a solution, that's a workaround. What I'm looking for is a solution that will activate the proper keys and shortcuts immediately after boot (even into runlevel 5), just like it's supposed to work and has been working for years and years and... you get my point ;) -Martin -- Rieke Computersysteme GmbH Hellerholz 5 D-82061 Neuried Telefon: +49 (0) 89/755099-41 Telefax: +49 (0) 89/45237-399 Mobil: +49 (0) 172/2102355 Email: martin@rhm.de HRB Muenchen 73617 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, of course it is an workaround, but it is way faster than your own workaround, which you never the less called "solution" in your initial post. As to be "from the past", well, many servers boot that way. All my computers do, for instance. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Servers yes. Desktop computers no. And yes, you're right. I should not have referred to it as 'solution' but rather as 'workaround'. That was my fault to begin with. Alas, I'm still looking for a real solution ;) -Martin -- Rieke Computersysteme GmbH Hellerholz 5 D-82061 Neuried Telefon: +49 (0) 89/755099-41 Telefax: +49 (0) 89/45237-399 Mobil: +49 (0) 172/2102355 Email: martin@rhm.de HRB Muenchen 73617 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
