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

 

I'm not upgrading the BIOS (nonsense requirement) and I'm not testing
the mainstream kernel (no time to do that).

That should not be a reason for closing the bug. I have reported it and it's as much as I can do.
This might not even be in the kernel, I reported it against linux just because I have no idea what package is really responsible.

That the OP (in this case me) isn't willing to do additional debugging
work doesn't mean the bug should expire, it's not like the person who
reports it is the only one affected.

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.
