Alan Pope, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642792 Title: ALT+PrtSc not recognised: breaks built-in screenshot function Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “metacity” source package in Maverick: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config On an EN-GB keyboard (and maybe others) ALT+PrtSc is the default keyboard shortcut for "Take a screenshot of a window" as configured in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. However the system doesn't seem to respond to that keyboard combination at all. Pressing ALT+PrtSc on a default Maverick install does nothing. Indeed attempting to _set_ that keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog results in it not being registered. Workaround: sudo sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0 Steps to reproduce:- 1) Try to screenshot the entire desktop with PrtSc - this works 2) Try to take a screenshot of one active window with ALT+PrtSc - nothing happens. Additionally 1) Navigate to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts 2) Scroll down to Desktop -> Take a screenshot of a window, and then click that line in order to set a keyboard shortcut for the action 3) Press ALT+PrtSc - nothing happens 4) Press a different keyboard combination such as CTRL+PrtSc or Super/Windows+PrtSc - this works Additionally 1) Open a terminal 2) Run 'xev' and then press ALT+PrtSc. Observe data in the xev terminal window when ALT is pressed, but nothing for ALT+PrtSc Seems a fairly critical regression bug given we document this keyboard shortcut in the help, and it's very commonly used by documenters and people getting support. It works fine in previous releases.
