10.04: F2 for renaming file is lost!

[kakyoism]

Now if I press F2 when a file is selected in Nautilus, there will be no response.

Does anybody have the same problem?

[SnickerSnack]

I'm not using 10.04 yet, but I did google around and read a few articles to see if I could help. No dice, but you do get a free bump. :)

[kakyoism]

Bump.

Anyone else??

[kakyoism]

bump..


got a few auto-updates, still unresolved!!

Had same problem myself at first. (did a clean install of 10.04 (leaving my home partition alone of course)).

After a reboot, came back and works.

Don't know what the problem could have been.

[kakyoism]

Still no fix yet????

[kakyoism]

COME ON...
PLEASE, this is very basic. Could anyone help???

[mohit20]

hi....
same problem is here....help????

[kakyoism]

hmmm do the other F keys work as they should?
What kind of keyboard do you have?

[kakyoism]

no, none of them!

[mprokolo]

so probably there is something to turn them on or off on your keyboard
for example i have an logitech keyboard and there is a key named F-lock. If its on then F keys work normally (F1-F12) if not the F keys have other actions assigned to them probably by their windows driver but these are assigned to nothing in Ubuntu
So look for a similar key to F-lock or post your keyboard model so I can have a look

[kakyoism]

OMG, you are so right! Got the F lock now!
I've never noticed such a functionality. Yes this is a new keyboard!
Thanks a million!
