Just the other day, I discovered that in GNOME, I could not switch to a
virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2. Instead, the screen would
simply appear to freeze until I pressed Ctrl-Alt-F7 again.
In my case, this problem only occurs when I've connected an external
monitor to my laptop. When I unplug the external monitor, I am able to
successfully switch to a virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2. If
you are using an external monitor, then perhaps you should try
unplugging it first?
