Edit: As I have just discovered, the acpi scripts do not appear to be working in 12.10 x64 on a lenovo t430. Using both the method described in the link I posted and Chris Van Hoof's, I can't get the acpi events system to execute the micmute.sh script. I followed both guides _exactly_. I can manually invoke the script, but that defeats the purpose of having the button. This is a simple script I created as a workaround for this issue:
#!/bin/bash while true do event="`acpi_listen -c 1`" if [[ $event == "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b" ]] then bash /etc/acpi/micmute.sh fi done To use it, set it to be executable and add the path to the script in /etc/rc.local -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408903 Title: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/408903/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
