This is probably the most effective way to solve this long standing issue. The issue has been raised time and again on Ubuntu Brainstorm and solution #1 suggests having a keyboard shortcut that will release the keyboard/mouse lock and exit full-screen mode. While you can re-enable this functionality, it is not an ideal solution because you may have other applications running in the background which don’t deserve to be killed.Īll you need is a way to get back to the desktop to sort out the problem. The operating system is obviously still running properly in the backround but you are out of options pull the plug and restart.Īt one stage, Ubuntu used the standard ‘ctrl+alt+backspace’ shortcut to kick you back to the login screen but this has since been removed. Ubuntu will continue displaying notifications for received chats and emails but the user is helpless because the application has become solely responsible for any input.
The app is clearly stuck but the OS seems to be oblivious to the problem. The problem comes in when Ubuntu hands over full control of the keyboard and mouse to a full-screen application which subsequently grinds to a halt.
