slumbergod, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (3.16-rc7) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: regression-release ** Summary changed: - function keys cause machine to freeze + [Samsung NP350E5C-A02AU] function keys cause machine to freeze ** Description changed: - Samsung notebook: NP350E5C-A02AU - FN+F6 (Mute), FN+F7 (Volume Down), and FN+F7 (Volume Up) cause the machine to become highly unstable requiring a power off holding the - power button in. - - This did NOT happen in Ubuntu 13.04 so I conclude that it is a hardware - issue under newer kernels (one of many issues, all being reported - individually). + power button in.
