What needs to happen? That I update the bios? That's definitely not going to happen (what needs to happen is that ubuntu provide a decent way of upgrading bios without relying on booting other OSes).
And there's no reason why you should need me to update the bios, when this regression has happened without any change in the bios. On the same bios, everything was working, then the regression appeared. A reboot fixed it, but I guess it may reappear at any time. This policy of ignoring bugs just because they're reported on a bios that has an update available is simply ridiculous, especially when there's no good reason to think that the bios is related (and even if that was the case). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353129 Title: [REGRESSION 2014-08] Volume up/down keys, and printScreen key, have stopped working Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete 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.
