In my case the primary key is the ALT, actually the left alt. As far as I know, no usage collision of alt-ctrl-g, alt-ctrl-backspaces, ... I do not use any other setting manager. The problem is ther if I do it 'by hand' in Unity control center. However normally I set up almost everything with script, here is the shortcut setting part: CK='/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings' DCONFWRITE='dconf write ' DCONFWRITE+="${CK}" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/name "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/command "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/binding "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/name "'gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/command "'gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom0/binding "'<Primary><Alt>g'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/name "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/command "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/binding "'unset'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/name "'gnome-session-quit --power-off'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/command "'gnome-session-quit --power-off'" ${DCONFWRITE}/custom1/binding "'<Primary><Alt>BackSpace'" ${DCONFWRITE} "['${CK}/custom0/','${CK}/custom1/']" unset DCONFWRITE unset CK However, the problem is still there, if I do it by hand, and during the debug command the setting is recorded only and it comes to alive after a logout/login cycle. I am ready to make further experiments, no comes the CTRL+SHIFT instead of CTRL+ALT, how you have just suggested, ... many thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755106 Title: /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/ fails to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1755106/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
