[Bug 1217196] Re: Ubuntu 13.10 keyboard shortcuts not working

 

Hello,
Unfortunately mainline kernel does not fix this bug.
It looks like any shortcut with combined keys doesn't work.

That are keyboard shortcuts working:
- CTRL+ATL+F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6/F7/F8/F9/F10/F11/F12
- ALT + ` to switch between windows of the same application,
- ATL + TAB,
- left CTRL + ALT + TAB,
- alt + F1/F2/F3/F4/F5/F6/F7/F8,
- CTRL + F4/F5,
- CTRL+ALT+D,
- CTRL+C/V/X

So for me it seems there are 2 different bugs:
- special fn keys not working in my laptop,
- and shortcuts with three key combination not working (especially with one of alphanumeric keys for example CTRL+ALT+T)

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.10 keyboard shortcuts not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I'm using/testing Ubuntu 13.10 with newest kernel 3.11.0-4 from PPA with Gnome 3.9.90.
  This started since kernel 3.10.

  Shortcuts to run commands and custom commands not working in this
  configuration (for example CTRL+ALT+T not launching gnome-terminal).

  I have laptop Asus N56VZ and FN Keys also stopped working (brightness,
  toggle wifi, brightness of keyboards, volume).

  Since I cannot find suspend button in Gnome 3.9 I've started to use power button to suspend my PC. It's not working anymore.
  Only way to suspend is to type command 'sudo pm-suspend' in terminal.
