Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.30.2-9 Severity: normal I use Totem to listen to long media files and pause/resume them using the Play/Pause button on my keyboard. After a while (sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days) this button stops working. Pressing it has no effect on Totem, Rhythmbox or any other media-playing application running on my Gnome desktop.
I continue to be able to play/pause from withing the user interface of the application itself (well, provided I don't run into bug 926164.) I can also play/pause from the Media player (MPRISv2) shell extension. All other keys and keyboard shortcuts continue to work on my keyboard, including the volume and calculator buttons. Running xev shows no events being received when I press the button (but perhaps that's normal, since the volume buttons also show no events.) Rebooting my machine restores the functionality of the keyboard play/pause button, until the next time it stops working. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-shell depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.30.1-2 ii evolution-data-server 3.30.5-1 ii gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 0.6.45-2 ii gir1.2-atspi-2.0 2.30.0-7 ii gir1.2-freedesktop 1.58.3-2 ii gir1.2-gcr-3 3.28.1-1 ii gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 3.28.1-1 ii gir1.2-gdm-1.0 3.30.2-3 ii gir1.2-geoclue-2.0 2.5.2-1 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.58.3-2 ii gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 3.28.2-3 ii gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 3.30.2.1-2 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.5-1 ii gir1.2-gweather-3.0 3.28.2-2 ii gir1.2-ibus-1.0 1.5.19-4 ii gir1.2-mutter-3 3.30.2-7 ii gir1.2-nm-1.0 1.14.6-2 ii gir1.2-nma-1.0 1.8.20-1.1 ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.42.4-6 ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-25 ii gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 2.44.10-2.1 ii gir1.2-soup-2.4 2.64.2-2 ii gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 0.99.10-1 ii gjs 1.54.3-1 ii gnome-backgrounds 3.30.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.30.2-3 ii gnome-shell-common 3.30.2-9 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.28.1-1 ii libatk-bridge2.0-0 2.30.0-5 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-7 ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libcroco3 0.6.12-3 ii libecal-1.2-19 3.30.5-1 ii libedataserver-1.2-23 3.30.5-1 ii libgcr-base-3-1 3.28.1-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.58.3-2 ii libgjs0g 1.54.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.58.3-2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.14.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libical3 3.0.4-3 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii libmutter-3-0 3.30.2-7 ii libnm0 1.14.6-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-25 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-25 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 12.2-4 ii libpulse0 12.2-4 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18.7-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-6 ii libsystemd0 241-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii mutter 3.30.2-7 ii python3 3.7.3-1 Versions of packages gnome-shell recommends: ii bolt 0.7-2 ii chrome-gnome-shell 10.1-5 ii gdm3 3.30.2-3 ii gkbd-capplet 3.26.1-1 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.30.3-1 ii gnome-user-docs 3.30.2-1 ii iio-sensor-proxy 2.4-2 ii switcheroo-control 1.2-2 ii unzip 6.0-23 Versions of packages gnome-shell suggests: ii gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 0.24.1-2 ii gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 0.8.2-3 -- no debconf information
