"Do other keybinding work?" --- YES they do work, only the "custom shortcuts" are affected, but ALL of them (I have only 2 custom shortcuts).
"Does journalctl contains any error about gsd-media-keys?" journalctl | grep gsd-media-keys gives the following result (I upgraded to 18.04 one days before the first entry, Mar 10): Mar 10 19:30:35 pc56 dbus-daemon[884]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus- org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' requested by ':1.116' (uid=125 pid=8253 comm="/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfined") Mar 10 19:58:38 pc56 dbus-daemon[883]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus- org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' requested by ':1.127' (uid=125 pid=5326 comm="/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfined") Mar 10 19:59:07 pc56 gsd-media-keys[5326]: Error releasing name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys: The connection is closed Mar 11 14:39:51 pc56 dbus-daemon[903]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus- org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' requested by ':1.115' (uid=125 pid=3011 comm="/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfined") Mar 12 08:47:22 pc56 dbus-daemon[884]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus- org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' requested by ':1.121' (uid=125 pid=5137 comm="/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-media-keys " label="unconfined") "Do you have an active "gsd-media-keys" process when getting the issue?" I had no possibility to check it, because I had only two cold boots since the last "Mar 12 08:47:22" occurence of the problem, and the both vere error free. But I do not find the process in question, do I test it correctly? : ps auxw | grep gsd-media-keys -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755106 Title: /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/ fails to load Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: $ dconf dump /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/ [custom1] binding='<Primary><Alt>BackSpace' command='gnome-session-quit --power-off' name='gnome-session-quit --power-off' [custom0] binding='<Primary><Alt>g' command='gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0' name='gnome-terminal --geometry=80x99-0+0' $ In spite of the above, time to time, not always, but since 18.04 much much more frequently this settings fails to become active just after booting, ... my account is logged in automatically just after boot. If I log out and log in again, then these key bindings work. If I go to the system settings, and define again, then these work again. Earlier, before 18.04 this phenomenon was rare, namely once a week at most. But since 18.04 it is almost guaranteed, not deterministic, but highly probable, that after an initial boot or a warm reboot these key bindings will not work.
