Is CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE disabled in Bionicpup64?

[fernan]

Hello. I'm seeing that the CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE keyboard shortcut is doing nothing in my computer, I'd like to know if that is normal, or that's a problem with my install or hardware.

If normal, I'd like to know how to activate it. Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf , changing Option "DontZap" "false" doesn have any effect.

# Xorg 7.4, Ubuntu Jaunty, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is disabled by default...

Option "DontZap" "false"

Thanks very much.

Why do you want to have this work?

For the most part it will not 100% provide good results in Puppy Linux.

Probably disabled. This article suggests to edit the /etc/default/keyboard file and add the line XKBPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

I don't know Bionicpup64 and therefore don't know if this would work. In Bookworm64 CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE is enabled but this option is not set in /etc/default/keyboard. However I found a couple of other files where it is set (in Section "InputClass"):

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
-----------------------------
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf-auto-pc
-----------------------------
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.udev
-----------------------------
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.udev.fbturbo
-----------------------------
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

# Xorg 7.4, Ubuntu Jaunty, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is disabled by default...
Option "DontZap" "false"

Also present in /etc/X11/xorg.conf of my BW64. Seems that in your case this is not enough to enable CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE

THANKS VERY MUCH!

I've edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and uncommented the line

Code: Select all

#Option      "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,ctrl:nocaps,caps:shift" #xkboptions0

and modified it to

Code: Select all

Option      "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" #xkboptions0

Now I have a functional CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE keyboard shortcut.

Just did a clean boot with bionicpup64-8.0-uefi and ctrl+alt+backspace works.

Just tried booting ignoring the saved session, and CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE works, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file doesn't have the line I've edited, just the line uncommented as it is now in my saved session after my edit. But, I had never typed that line, it was created by some software. I remember I've tried to make my touchscreen to work, and installed probably some package related to that, and I also have a Wacom tablet, I don't remember If I had to install some package for it.

Anyway, it seems the direct answer to the title of this thread is "no, it's not disabled by default", but if it doesn work, check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
