Ctrl+Alt+F[n] to switch to virtual consol doesn't work in wayland

Issues & Assistance
1

I’ve searched everywhere, and I cannot seem to find anything about it on the forum, so hoping someone might have some insights. When I’m booted into the KDE Plasma Wayland session, the CTRL+Alt+F[n] keys which are supposed to switch you to a virtual console simply do not work. I have confirmed that when I log in to an X11 session, the keyboard combination works without any issue, with the GUI on F2. I can confirm that the keyboard shortcuts aren’t present in any other software, and the fact that it works in X11 indicates that maybe there’s something happening in Wayland that’s preventing this behavior? I can confirm that the key presses are registering in the system via xev and wev so it’s not that the system isn’t getting and recognizing the key combination.

Anyone else have this issue? Any advice? Here’s my garuda-inxi:

Thanks in advance!

Edit: failed to mention that in xev the key presses register properly as Control_L Control_R Alt_L Alt_R whereas with wev it only registers Control for either Ctrl key, and Mod1 for either Alt key. Wondering if that’s just a nomenclature difference or if, in fact, wayland’s not “seeing” Alt - which could very well be the root of the issue lol. Also, the model keyboard I have selected is Generic | Generic 104-key PC.

Works fine here.

Is here on F1

F2 is login page

F3-6 TTY

While I appreciate it’s working on your end, I cannot seem to figure out how to troubleshoot this. Perhaps it’s the “keyboard” model…

I have no problems here accessing the virtual consoles in Plasma Wayland.

However, when I return to the graphical session, I end up at the login screen, which is filled in with passowrt, but I cannot make any entries with the mouse or keyboard. The only option is to switch back to the virtual console and restart the computer from there.

EDIT:

thank you :v:

Sorry @shayaknyc… i know this is no fixing your problem.

5

Use F3 than F1

I use Kernel: 6.6.65-1-lts btw, but I think it dosn’t matter.

It seems only you got this problem, not more.

6

I’d like to amend, that wev actually does NOT register the F[n] key when pressed. I just noticed. I also tried switching to the 105-key keyboard just to see if that would make a difference. It did not. What would prevent Plasma Wayland to not register the F[n] keys?

7

So? What’s the utility in this statement? If you don’t want to or cannot help, I can understand, nobody is forcing you to participate, but I don’t see how this is helpful.

8

Just saying

9

Ok. So, no ideas on where I should start looking, perhaps? I’m not asking you to fix my setup, but I thought the whole purpose of this forum is exactly to surface these kinds of individual issues and help someone who may experience this somewhere down the line…

10

LOL all good - glad you found a solution to your problem! See? These things do help! Why I’m getting push back with “sorry, this is only YOUR problem, so suck it” - I don’t understand…

11

Calm down please.
no need to turn on each other

It is often the case that problems are solved by approximation. This thread has only just begun.

EDIT:

Sorry, but this is your intepretation and it´s not really true.

I agree! I came here for guidance and help. Hopefully someone who may have an idea can point me in the right direction.

Sure, I’ll concede that this may be my interpretation which may be incorrect, but then my initial question still stands:

14

Do you have a keyboard that uses some custom keybinds like are common with mechanical keyboards? It’s possible the culprit lies there. Incidentally, I am also using wayland and I can switch to tty on CTRL F3 and switch back on F1.

Many keyboards have layers that aren’t as obvious as they could be. Maybe you have another keyboard you could test with?

15

For the record, I’m not the only one who has this problem. A simple google search for this issue, which I have done in the hopes of finding a solution, results in MANY others who’ve posted about this, so…perhaps I’m the only one on garuda SO FAR.

Edit: i’ll further go on to say that this does not seem to be distro-specific. Folks on Ubuntu are also complaining about this in Wayland, on Gnome and KDE, so I don’t think this is isolated to just me.

16

Nope, a good ol’ generic keyboard. I also tried with a logitech keyboard and a microsoft keyboard - these all have the same behavior.

Edit: This also doesn’t explain why it works as expected on X11 sessions…

17

This does work, however:

> sudo chvt 5

And I can successfully return to the GUI with the CTRL+Alt+F1 combination, but once I’m back in the Wayland GUI, the keyboard combinations don’t work. If I use CTRL+Alt+F2 I get a black screen with just the mouse (assuming this is the login screen) and CTRL+ALT+F5 takes me back to the virtual console again…

18

Not sure what’s different about this, but one thing I noticed in your inxi made me wonder, under the desktop section is shows window manager as kwin_x11, where mine says kwin_wayland. I don’t know if that means anything, but I would pour through the desktop settings to see if there isn’t some setting that isn’t quite what it should be. No idea if that will be it, but it’s something to look at.

This is what I have in my inxi Desktop section:

Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 6.2.4 tk: Qt v: N/A info: frameworks v: 6.8.0
wm: kwin_wayland with: krunner vt: 1 dm: SDDM Distro: Garuda

19

That’s because I posted this while I was still in my X11 session, as I had just switched to confirm the keyboard combo works there, and came straight to the forum to post.

I’m back in Wayland now, here you go:
