[Rolf Leggewie <1353129@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just ran into this in my vivid test installation (no, just like the
OP, I will not jump through silly hoops requested from the penalv-bot
only to have the issue at hand ignored).  Setting to 'confirmed' and
'affecting me'.  In fact, my computer hung after I tried the volume
keys.

As with almost any kernel bugs, don't hold your breath for Ubuntu
providing a fix, though.  It seems the kernel team's only job is to
introduce bugs not present upstream.  Your best bet is to test the
mainline kernel provided by Ubuntu and if the problem if you can
reproduce the kernel there as well then report it upstream.  Ubuntu
won't ever bother and the only way to fix things in Ubuntu is to fix
them upstream.  Sad but true in case of the kernel.

Just like the OP, the problem was gone after a reboot.  I came to this
ticket because I experienced bug 1354180 and that ticket referenced this
one.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
