Public bug reported:
I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-A (and I use an HP wireless keyboard
sometimes as well) and I'm using the GNOME desktop. The keyboard layout
is currently set to English (US).
Before upgrading to 14.04, I had no issues with keyboard shortcuts (i.e.
Ctrl+Alt+t and others), function shortcuts (Fn+F2 to raise brightness
and others) or media keys (such as a volume toggle on my wireless
keyboard. However, once I upgraded, they all stopped working. All of
them. I tried assigning new custom shortcuts via
Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts but this did nothing. I looked at dconf-
editor and the shortcuts seem to be properly assigned there. I also
checked to make sure that the keys were being properly detected and this
seems to be the case.
Interestingly, I recently installed a GNOME tweak that added a
brightness toggle to the menu bar, and now Fn+F2/F3 works to raise and
lower the screen brightness. None of the others are working, however.
What changed in between Saucy and Trusty? I didn't change anything in my
settings, and I just ran the upgrade from terminal. Everything seemed to
go smoothly otherwise.
