[Bug 713206] Re: Non-functioning Fn Special Key for Vol Mute + Errant Keyboard LED

 

inverser, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Non-functioning Fn Special Key for Vol Mute + Errant Keyboard LED

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello, first off thank you for taking the time to look at my bug. I
  hope you can help me to resolve it for the Voodoo Envy 133 owners out
  there that are interested in Ubuntu.

  I am running Maverick Meerkat and 99% of Ubuntu runs flawlessly right
  out of the box. The problem I have is with the Fn+F11 key, which is
  the Voodoo Special Key for volume mute. F11 itself works fine. I use
  it with Guake daily. But pressing Fn+F11 locks me out of the keyboard.
  Keystrokes are no longer registered on the machine until I
  Cntrl+Alt+Backspace.
