2019-05-10 13:26:02 Balint Reczey description (console-setup) [Impact]  * keyboard-configuration's postinst changes keyboard mode breaking X keys. [Test Case]  * Ssh to a system or open a terminal and unset DISPLAY     $ echo $DISPLAY     $  * Check kbd mode, should be raw (set by kbd_mode -s) or unknown:    $ sudo kbd_mode    The keyboard is in some unknown mode    $ sudo kbd_mode    The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode    $ On Xenial X runs on VT7 thus the graphical environment is not affected in the default configuration, but the keyboard-configuration postinst maintaner script still changes mode on vt1-6, thus at the beginning set VT1 to raw mode to observe the change: $ sudo kbd_mode -s -C /dev/tty1 $ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty1 The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode  * Install or reinstall kbd-configuration    $ sudo apt install --reinstall keyboard-configuration    ...    Setting up keyboard-configuration (1.178ubuntu11) ...    Your console font configuration will be updated the next time your system    boots. If you want to update it now, run 'setupcon' from a virtual console.    ...  * With the fixed package you should see the note above and the kbd mode must stay the same (on Xenial check VT1: sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty1):    $ sudo kbd_mode    The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode    $  * The unfixed package sets the kbd mode to unicode:    $ sudo kbd_mode    The keyboard is in Unicode (UTF-8) mode    $ [Regression Potential]  * The change may break debian-installer changing the keyboard mode, this should also be tested.  * In general changing the postinst script may make the package unable to install, but this is tested in generic environment and the change to the postinst script is very small. [Original Bug Text] WORKAROUND: sudo kbd_mode -s ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: I'm running Ubuntu Lucid development branch. Pressing alt-f2 switches the screen to the second virtual terminal. Alt-f3 does the same to the third and so on. I expected alt-f2 to open the run dialog. I'm pretty sure that my keyboard is not malfunctioning as I can use all my applications normally. (Pressing O and Ctrl-O do not have the same effect.) I'm not sure which package I should file this bug against. I'll happily do an apport-collect once I know. (kbd) [Impact] * kbd_mode -u is documented to break keyboards in modes other than xlate and unicode, while it is still called by some scripts. Those scripts are called transitively by maintainer scripts such as the one already fixed in console-setup. * To avoid accidentally breaking keyboards a -f option is added to force such breaking mode changes. Without -f only the safe mode changes are performed and an error is printed when the requested mode change is not safe. Next upstream version will also exit with error, but the cherry-picked fix makes kbd_mode return success even when the mode switch is not performed to avoid regressions of scripts. [Test case] * Verify that safe mode switches work and dangerous ones are skipped without -f. Please note that the test will temporarily break the system's keyboard and it is recommended to run the test in a VM. rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty4; echo $? The keyboard is in Unicode (UTF-8) mode 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -a -C /dev/tty4; echo $? 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -a -C /dev/tty4; echo $? 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty4 The keyboard is in xlate (8-bit) mode rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -u -C /dev/tty4; echo $? 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty4 The keyboard is in Unicode (UTF-8) mode rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -u -C /dev/tty0; echo $? The keyboard is in some unknown mode Changing to the requested mode may make your keyboard unusable, please use -f to force the change. 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -f -u -C /dev/tty0; echo $? 0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty0 The keyboard is in Unicode (UTF-8) mode rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -s -C /dev/tty0 rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -C /dev/tty0 The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode rbalint@MacBookAir-test:~$ sudo kbd_mode -u -C /dev/tty0; echo $? The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode Changing to the requested mode may make your keyboard unusable, please use -f to force the change. 0 [Regression Potential] * kbd_mode stops performing breaking mode switches and this may make scripts ineffective when trying to perform a breaking change. This is the intention of the change and the emitter error helps in finding the offending script. The following packages found to call kbd_mode directly: console-setup xinit console-cyrillic initramfs-tools dracut console-tools xview ubiquity's embedded console-setup copy console-data vnc4 The console related packages are expected to execute only safe mode changes because they should operate on consoles only and the rest seem to be safe, too.
