Title: Volume up/down keyboard keys stoped working after gnome-settings- daemon package update Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After updating gnome-settings-daemon from version 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4 to version 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5 the keyboard volume keys are not working. Pressing the keys does not produce the volume OSD, neither the volume is increased or decreased. The following packages were updated by synaptic: cjs (2.0.0-20131021020602-precise) to 2.0.0-20131105020703-precise duplicity (0.6.18-0ubuntu3.2) to 0.6.18-0ubuntu3.3 gimp (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa gimp-data (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4) to 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5 libcjs0c (2.0.0-20131021020602-precise) to 2.0.0-20131105020703-precise libgimp2.0 (2.8.6-0precise1~ppa) to 2.8.8-0precise0~ppa xkb-data (2.5-1ubuntu1.4) to 2.5-1ubuntu1.5 xserver-common-lts-quantal (2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.3~precise1) to 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.5~precise1 xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal (2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.3~precise1) to 2:1.13.0-0ubuntu6.5~precise1 I suspected that the bug might be in xkb-data and/or gnome-settings-daemon. Downgrading the xkb-data package the previous version (2.5-1ubuntu1.4) didn't work. Downgrading the gnome-settings-daemon package to the previous version (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4) worked! Afterwords I upgraded xkb-data to the latest version (2.5-1ubuntu1.5) and left gnome-settings-daemon package to the previous version (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.4). And this works!!! In conclusion there is some regression introduced into gnome-settings- daemon 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.5. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1248368/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
