I don't know by which update, but the bug is partially fixed. SOUND The sound hotkeys work normally again. BRIGHTNESS Buggy. The hotkeys work again, but there are now 7 steps, and the indicator goes (from min to max) like this: min, middle, max, min, middle, max. When it worked fine (before this bug) I had like 10 (?) steps. Now I have 7 steps, but the indicator popup has only 3 steps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028518 Title: Fn keys such as brightness and volume stopped working after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1028518/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1028518] Re: Fn keys such as brightness and volume stopped working after update
** Description changed: + -UPDATE- September 4 - Recent updates reintroduced functional Fn-Keys, + but the Brightness Fn-keys are behaving poorly, compared to before when + they behaved perfectly. + + See comment #13 + + Original report: + + I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15, happily running Ubuntu 12.04 + Cinnamon. Today after updating, certain Fn Function Keys didn't work anymore, like brightness, volume and mute. Other Fn keys like Play Pause Next, they still work. Tried rebooting some more. Google and Launchpad search. Appears this happened often during the years with older laptops and patches were released, but now it's back. Unfortunately, I don't know which package or which update exactly, because I don't update daily. I think the update must have been a week old at max. In short: pressing Fn + F# used to toggle or adjust something and a popup would appear, indicating the change. Now, nothing is indicated and nothing is changed either. I hope someone knows where to look. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1028518 Title: Fn keys such as brightness and volume stopped working after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1028518/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@rCX: I cannot test your hypothesis, because I do not have Windows installed at the moment. However, two notes: 1) This is a brand new Edge from september 2011 (Intel), which is different from the ones made pre-2011 (AMD) which are mentioned in topics with similar problems. 2) Hotkeys have always worked, until one day they did not.

I also have an Intel machine, in my case the hotkeys would suddenly stop working. Did you testing the keys on LiveCD/LiveUSB as it says in the guide you posted?

[Bug 1028518] Re: Fn keys such as brightness and volume stopped working after update
This has happened to me several times but it might not be a problem with Ubuntu. I have a Thinkpad Edge 14 and I dual boot both Ubuntu and Windows 7. Whenever this happens the Fn keys stop working in both Windows and Ubuntu which indicates that it's a BIOS/hardware issue. I usually fix it by simply flashing the BIOS.
