[Bug 550979] Re: Volume increase decrease by function buttons never release on Dell Studio 1558

2010-05-07 Thread Santiago Romero

 I suffer the same problem in my HP 6730b.

 When I press the + or - volume function keys (tactile keys between
keyboard and screen) then the key blinks like if it's being continously
pressed and notify-osd shows in the screen the volume meter until I
reboot the computer.

 
 The notify-osd volume meter then appears continuosly and it sometimes steals 
the keyboard focus and mouse motion so I have to reboot to continue working 
correctly in my lapton.

 Those keys worked perfectly in 9.04 and 9.10, and have started working
incorrectly after upgrade to 10.04.

@Matt -- that is correct:  The 95-keyboard-force-release.rules method is
only applicable to 10.04 Beta -- it will not work for previous releases.

Fixing this for 9.10 requires a fix in the kernel itself.  I am going to
try to extend the in-kernel fix for the Studio 1557 (now pending for
release in 9.10) to also work for the Studio 1558.

Ubuntu 10.04 Beta users can install a test fix for this problem from this PPA:
  https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/lucid-volume-keys

The PPA applies a fix similar to the method outlined by Jerone in
comment #3 (either method works just as well for the Dell Studio 1558).

Got a hold of a 1558  the fix does work. Submitted to upstream udev.
May make it into 10.04.

Thanks Jerone -- yes, I also confirm the fix for the Dell Studio 1558.

I also note that there are reports of the exact same problem on other
(non-Dell) laptop models (LP: #42043, LP: #374884).  The same fix is
likely to work for them too.  Would you like to address those bugs, or
should I?

2010-04-06 Thread Matt G
Moved this bug report over from bug #465250

I'm running Karmic (9.10) amd64 on my Dell Studio 1558 (Intel Core i3
processor) and I also experience this bug.

The mute key (F7) works fine.
But the volume up (F9) and volume down (F8) keys have problems
Not only do they not stop increasing (or decreasing) in volume, but my computer 
becomes unresponsive.
I find myself having to press control + alt + delete to restart (brings me back 
to the good old days of Windows!)

Looking forward to a fix.


@Jerone

Thank you for the file. So if I understand correctly, copying 95
-keyboard-force-release.rules to /lib/udev/rules.d/ will only work on
10.04, and not on 9.10?
