[Bug 1405214] Re: Media and Custom Keyboard shortcut, as well as volume / brightness OSD stop randomly working

 

I have made some further tests:
- I cannot confirm that suspend and rewake yield the same failures (even after 5 cycles of suspend+rewake, docked or not docked).
- undocking causes the failure of OSD and shortcuts
- One time (but not consistently) I got the error message, following the suggestion of submitting a bug report, that notify-OSD had crashed. No word regarding shortcuts. Strangely, shortcuts and OSD kept working. I could not submit the report, since the report application crashed itself.

Bug description:
  I run Ubuntu 14.04, on a Lenovo T420s.

  When I restart and login to Unity, everything works fine. Once I dock
  the laptop (and I also think, when I suspend and re-wake the laptop),
  many keyboard shortcuts stop working: custom shortcuts, and some media
  shortcuts. I noticed that also the Volume and brightness OSD stop
  working at that instant. I note that everything works fine again when
  I reboot the system while being docked. Hence, it seems not the
  docking per se that causes the problem, but a process associated with
  docking (and presumably

  I've looked at similar posts, but they all seem to origin in 2012, and
  the circumstances, where the shortcuts or OSD fail to work, are
  different.

  Can anyone help, and assist me in identifying the source and precise
  circumstances, to create a useful bug report, or finding a fix?
