Ubuntu – Switching tty shortcut

11.04shortcutstty

I recently installed Ubuntu Natty (11.04) and now pressing Alt+Left/Right arrow key switches my tty to the adjacent one. How can I reconfigure the keyboard shortcuts so that this stops happening?

Update: I enabled Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarting X. Now when I start my computer and then restart X, this problem stops occurring. However, if I don't restart X after starting my computer, this problem persists.

Another update: reinstalling the system fixed the problem.

Click on the application icon on the Unity bar. Type keyboard and double click on the entry labelled as, "Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down the list until you get to the item that says, "Move window one workspace to the left". Click on each of items and change the shortcut to your liking.

Ubuntu – Periodic Keyboard Lag/Delay

I had the same problem with my Lenovo x61 laptop running xubuntu 11.04. After some experimentation I found that this only occurs when using xterm. Try using a different terminal like gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal.

A good way to test for this problem is to hold down a key in the the terminal (e.g. "aaaaa" ...). After a short while it was evident that xterm was locking up where other terminals were not.

Thanks to Oil for unlocking this question so that I could post my answer for you.

Another user: I had the same problem and finally figured out the root cause. Go to System Configurations -> Universal Access -> Typing, and turn off the Bounce Keys.

Ubuntu – Random disconnects with an Atheros AR5008

I have this problem too, on my MacBook 2,1. There isn't much you can do about it, but you can reset the module and at least it'll work again.

sudo sh -c 'rmmod ath9k; restart network-manager; modprobe ath9k'
