I had never heard of this before. I’m very glad I stumbled on your post, because I’ve been trying for a couple hours to enable this in LXDE, which is a bit less pre-configured with convenient gui’s than Gnome Ubuntu (but a lot faster). This made short work of that problem!! It’s funny that I didn’t think it worked at first, but it turns out it has to be typed in with normal US keymapping–I type using Dvorak. It works like Alt-SysReq-REISUB, AltGr-PrSc-K only works with regular US keys. Anyway, Thanks, you helped me out!
