Hi Christopher, thank you for looking into this. I'm running Ubuntu MATE 15.04 at the moment, and the problem doesn't happen in that distro.
Maybe somebody else will be able to pick up this bug from where I left off? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440846 Title: Soft buttons and keyboard shortcuts sometimes don't work on HP EliteBook 6930p Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On my HP EliteBook 6930p, there are some soft buttons, the most important being Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down. Sometimes, these soft buttons don't work. Interesting: in those cases, normal keyboard shortcuts (for example: Ctrl + Alt + T for opening a terminal) also don't work. I have to reboot my system, and then, they usually work again. In those cases, the buttons themselves do work: the mute button indicator on the keyboard will switch from blue to red and the volume buttons will do a 'bouncing' animation to confirm that you've pressed those buttons. Additionally, I do believe that in those cases the buttons are interpreted somehow by the system, because for instance, when running xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p' (source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_keyboard_keys#In_Xorg) I get the following output when pressing those buttons: 36 Return 122 XF86AudioLowerVolume 123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume So there must be something else going on. I just don't know what to do from here. Any help here is appreciated.
