Comment 0 for bug 821919

Hello,

the keyboard shortcut Alt+F2, used to enter and run a command/program, is sometimes not working for me in Unity 2D.

When booting into the live CD session, I never saw Alt+F2 working (this report is therefor sent from within a live session), neither did it work on my Virtual Box installation so far. In this case just nothing happens when I press the key combo.

When I installed Oneiric two days ago, at some moment Alt+F2 suddendly started working as exspected! I wondered if it could be related to installing the propritary Nvidia-driver, but after removing the Nvidia driver it continued working.

Below I have attached the output from the xev-command when seeing the problem (means no reaction to Alt+F2), according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting. However, it looks like pressing the keys is detected correctly by xev (correct me if I'm wrong).

Kind regards,
Jan
