I just hit this issue for the first time after a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 amd64 on a Thinkpad W510 with nvidia binaries about a week ago. At the moment, none of the shortcuts in Settings->Keyboard->Application Shortcuts work, including the few that I left at their defaults. This is after a suspend/resume cycle. I think prior to that they were fine.
Note that keyboard shortcuts in Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard work fine, including the ones I customized. Also, note that I don't even have gnome-control-center installed, so I'll add xfce4-keyboard-settings to the list of affected packages. I get no error messages when I run it from the terminal and try changing keybindings. After changing them, they still don't work. xfce4-keyboard- settings probably isn't the real source of the issue, but it's a start. I'm removing "custom" from the bug title because it seems application shortcuts left at their defaults also don't work, for me and for others reported previously. Given the apparent randomness of this bug, is there anything I can do at the moment to help debug? Once I suspend/resume again or logout/login, it might go away. Any particular logs I should post? ** Summary changed: - Custom keyboard shortcuts don't work + Custom & default keyboard shortcuts don't work -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224732 Title: Custom & default keyboard shortcuts don't work Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just noticed that adding custom keyboard shortcuts does not have any effect. If, for example, I add a custom keyboard shortcut for Evince and set it to Ctrl+Alt+E, pressing this key combination won't launch Evince. * What happens * When I add a custom keyboard shortcut (and bind it to some key combination), the shortcut does not run the associated command. * What I expect * After adding the custom shortcut, I expect that the shortcut launches the associated command.
