My volume up/down keys were working fine and they have stopped working right NOW.
Was there some recent update that attempted to fix this bug and instead screwed things up further? Or am I experiencing a different (though apparently identical) issue? This did NOT work for me: gsettings reset org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys volume-up gsettings reset org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys volume-down Is there any other workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248368 Title: Volume up/down keyboard keys stoped working after gnome-settings- daemon package update Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged 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
