[Bug 1353129] Re: [REGRESSION 2014-08] Volume up/down keys, and printScreen key, have stopped working

 

Can't tell, sorry.
I only use Unity, and as i mentioned this only occurs sporadically, very rarely, and with no way to reproduce at will that i know of. (I did see it again not long ago, btw)
So even if i tried a given shell for the sake of it, i couldn't but wait for ages for it to happen or not.

It's true that there's no technical evidence that this may belong to Unity. 
There is equelly no evidence at all that this may nelong to kernel, either. I originañly reported this agaonst linux because i have no clue what package is responsible, and there doesn't seem to exist a generic "ubuntu" package to report bugs (not with apport at least)

If there's some package responsible for keyboard layout settings that
would be a better bet in my opinion

I used to report bugs to linux when i didn't know the package in the
hope that people with more knowledge would retriage them. Until i found
out there's this stupid policy for all linux bugs of not even looking at
it if the OP doesn't have the latest bios

Title:
  [REGRESSION 2014-08] Volume up/down keys, and printScreen key, have
  stopped working

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  All of a sudden, the volume keys from the keyboard have stopped
  working.

  The volume control on the top right corner of the screen does work if
  used with the mouse.

  I have both an external usb keyboard with dedicated volume + and -
  keys, and the builtin laptop keyboard where the volume +/-keys are the
  combination of the Fn key plus the up/down arrows.

  All these used to work up to a few minutes ago. Now none of them works.
  I think they stopped working with the last reboot.
