Public bug reported: I do not know if this is a feature in earlier versions of Kubuntu or not, but I do know that when I used Ubuntu I was able to hit fn+11 to go back a song in applications pithos banshee .etc and even when no applications was running if i hit the hotkey (in mint this time) it would display a not allowed sign. In Kubuntu these keys are not recognized at all. I have tried the wiki page on https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys and followed every instruction I can think of. I believe this is a bug because this feature is available in other versions of Ubuntu.
What I tried Xmodmap KDE Gui shortcut editor What happened the keys did not work What i expected to happen fn+f9=pause fn+f10=stop fn+11=previous song fn+f12=next song Notes Certain keys do work. For example fn+left turns the brightness down and fn+12 does the opposite. Fn+down turns the volume down and fn+up turns the volume up ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xorg 1:7.6+10ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-19.30-generic 3.2.11 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Mar 20 19:26:43 2012 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120228.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: hotkeys (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug hotkeys kubuntu precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960758 Title: Kubuntu 12.04 does not recongize hokeys correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkeys/+bug/960758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
