How to enable SysRq key?
I want my SysRq key to be fully functional.

When I look in `sudo sysctl -a` I see `kernel.sysrq = 1` in the output. This tells me it should be working.

To test, I run `echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger` but nothing happens. I've tried this in a terminal emulator as well as a TTY. I was expecting to see some help text.

Pressing `Alt+PrintScreen+h` or `PrintScreen+h` also does not work.
