Hello dear Ubuntu community,
This computer isn't easy to set up, I can tell you...
I'm doing some tests with Ubuntu 18.10
I can't get it to scroll up/down on virtual consoles (tty1-6) with the laptop's keyboard (it works fine with an external keyboard).
I tried to figure out why the usual combination doesn't work, i.e.: Shift+PgUp, and there may be some "fun" into it.
I tried reconfiguring keyboard-configuration package
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
It doesn't make any difference what keyboard I choose, I tried:
Asus Laptop
Apple Laptop
Generic 101-key PC
Generic 105-key PC
With numlock off, PgDn shows a tilde, and PgUp enters nothing (not even a space), but the cursor blinks.
Adding Shift doesn't make any difference.
It does scroll in programs like "man"
Maybe I should create my own XkbModel or XkbLayout?
With the X environment I also get some uncomfortable behavior since I can't scroll in xterm. If I press Shift+PgUp(NumLk off) I get a 9. If I press Shift+9(NumLk on) I get "~2".
I can scroll in Konsole, but only with Shift+9(NumLk on).
For what is worth, these are some keycodes I got using showkey:
Laptop keyboard
pgup = 73
pgdown = 81
lshift = 42
rshift = 54
External KB:
pgup = 104
pgdown = 109
lshift = 42
rshift = 54
Any help will be greatly appreciated
