I recently updated Ubuntu to 15.10, and since whenever I am playing counter strike on steam and hitting the Super key, volume up, volume down, mute or any key-bored button that will show a UI over the counter strike game window Ubuntu freezes!
The only thing I can access is the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I faced same problem sometime ago with all full-screen app using
wine
. There multiple ways the may lead to same result:Disable hot keys temporary as mentioned here:
Can I disable Dash and HUD hotkeys when fullscreen (in DOSBox)?
or From within Steam, how can I automatically disable the HUD hotkey upon a game's launch, and re-enable it upon that game closing?
Used different Window Manager while using those app & games.
openbox
is very light one which does not have any fancy to distract you.Install it
Launch it
Switching between Unity & Openbox, by default:
CtrlAltF7 Unity
CtrlAltF8 Openbox
but it could be different depending on you setup, you may try from F1 and up.
