Public bug reported: Media keys and other special keys stop working .
More precise if you do a fresh login and you try to use the volume up ( or any other special key ) multiple times it is going to work for about 4 5 times and then stop responding , after this all the media keys and other special keys like Av mode , S1 , etc ( names differ per laptop - keyboard ) doesn't responding as well and if you try to log out it says that you cant because "gnome-settings-deamon" is not responding . If you other than that log out and re-login the you can reproduce the problem ( keys will work for some clicks - button presses and then stop responding ) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.2.2-0ubuntu15 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-14.23-generic 3.2.3 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-14-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.91-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Feb 9 12:06:59 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-02-02 (6 days ago) ** Affects: unity Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- 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/929421 Title: Media key like volume up & volume down and other special keys stoped working after latest precise update.
