Hello,
As the title says, pressing Ctrl + Alt switches to tty4.
It appears that sometimes my keyboard is pressing F4 by itself.
I sometimes see this in terminal just writing out:
SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO
I checked my keyboard key and it is not sticky.
I checked my keyboard in BIOS Diagnostics and everything is in order.
When I run sudo kbd_mode it shows:
The keyboard is in unknown mode
Running sudo kbd_mode -s fixes the problem until reboot.
Is there any permanent fix for this?
