reedjcUsing 16-amd64-boot.img downloaded a few days ago. I changed to the logging virtual console (Alt-F4)  during package downloads/installs.  And now I cannot get back to installer screen.22:08
reedjcwhen I press Alt-F1 it displays ^[[25~ . Alt-F2 it shows ^[[26~   ALt-F3 shows nothing.  Alt-F5 and Alt-F6 shows ^@.  Alt-F7 does go to a blank screen with cursor only. And I can back to 4 (logs).22:09
CarlFKreedjc: my guess: ctrl or shift is stuck22:12
CarlFKpress release all of them. try alt-f1 again22:13
reedjcTried that and no change. Caps lock may have been on as when I toggle it I get those escape and ctrl sequences.  Anyways that got me thinking ...22:16
reedjcThis Dell Inspiron (barnd new) has function keys also with these function keys. So I hold Fn key and Alt key and F1 and it worked -- back to installer.22:17
CarlFKah that - my thinkpad has the same22:26
CarlFKF1/mute - I have do Fn+F1 to get F1.22:27
