[Bug 1353129] Re: Over and out

In my own experience BIOS are usually very buggy and trigger many 
issues. I know of 3 bugs in my own computer BIOS.

Taking decisions slowly by consensus is what usually works the best. But 
sometimes those are so trivial or so uncertain that taking one without 
entering in too much discussion is a better choice, as the opposite 
would mean spending most of the time in topics that really doesn't 
matter at all.

When that happens, because Ubuntu is a meritocratic community, the 
Canonical staff has always the last word. And everyone should accept that.

Christopher, you have been too kind. Managing an irrational situation in 
a rational way is like asking someone to change religion: it won't work.

As rule of thumbs, if someone treats you steadily disrespectful there's 
no single reason for continuing the business. Because there's no single 
excuse for mistreating other people.

In those cases the most appropriate answer I have found is the 
following, which for me feels like letting go a big weight:

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
