Please note: All fn keys are working in Ubuntu except the brightness keys + flightmode key, and they do what they are supposed to do. Keys that work: (Also behave correctly!) Keyboard-light increase / decrease, Sound volume increase / decrease mute. Trackpad toggle (enable/disable) Sleep key

ishbalai, it appears all the backend infrastructure is in place, but the hotkeys are the root cause issue here. It does seem so I agree while running default configurations. But when installing Nvidia's proprietary drivers all the information I provided above is incorrect. The power management

ishbalai, just to clarify, my meaning is using open source drivers only (i.e. no proprietary nvidia drivers installed). So it may be another bug... It is considered another bug when one uses the nvidia proprietary driver, and is not the scope of this report. You are welcome to file a new report
