Public bug reported: I made a clean Ubuntu 9.04 Beta installation on my IBM Thinkpad R50e on the 10th of April. All hotkeys worked fine, including volume up/down, brightness up/down. The popups provided accurate information, and everything was set up fine.
After updating Ubuntu sometime between the 10th and the 13th of April, the volume, brightness and power buttons stopped producing any graphical response. The keys themselves are functional thanks to the BIOS, but they do not produce events neither under "input-events" or "acpi_listen" or "xev". The kernel does seem to recognize the existence of these hotkeys, as evidenced by the output of "lshal" (which I've attached, along with other information), but there seems to be no way of accessing them as keyevents. I've attached information which I hope will be helpful in finding the cause of this bug. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Thinkpad hotkeys do not work after updating from 9.04 Beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
