[lubuntu-users] Keyboard configuration error on Lubuntu 16.04.3 LTS?

[Ludwig Causilla]

Hi everyone, recently i think i discover a bug with de Key that 
enable/disable the audio on my old Gateway Laptop (AMD Turion(tm) 64 
Mobile Technology ML-30 proccesor and 1,5 GB of RAM). If someone use the 
Function key and use HOME the system turn off de audio (that's OK) 
but... I use the same key combination the audio remains mute.  I've 
tried to use the audio up combination on my laptop (function + PgUp) but 
it just increase the audio level with the audio muted.  To disable the 
mute audio it have to use de mousepad and disable it from the audio 
applet in the panel.


I write to this list because on Telegram Lubuntu's channel told me that 
here i can get answers to my problem.


Thanks for your time and... sorry for my very bad cuban's english 
redaction ;)

My mute/unmute key does the same. I press FN+F11, But, it works the same
way. Mine maps to XF86AudioMute defined in
~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. The key is bound to:

amixer -q sset Master toggle


You can open a command-line terminal and type "man amixer." That shows the
parms "mute" and "unmute" (instead of toggle). But, "unmute" doesn't work
either.

So, it seems like the problem is with amixer.

You can type:

cat /proc/asound/cards


to see the sound cards. Maybe that info would be meaningful? (Mine is
HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH).

That's about all I can figure out.

Oops, sorry. I meant to add a footnote to that last email:

[1] amixer scontrols

That command shows you all the controls. I guess operating on each one
would unmute them all like "Master" should.

Hello there!

Greetings Ludwig. Hope you are okay. How is everything on your side ? How is 
the censorship ? I hope you (and we as well, in Egypt) get over this, but it 
appears not.

I was playing with this a little more.

If I do

amixer -q sset Master mute


and

amixer -q sset Speaker unmute


It works! (mute the "Speaker" device, and unmute the "Master" device works
too.). I can't mute/unmute the same device.

It wouldn't be too hard to write a shell script to determine the current
state, and either mute the master, or unmute the Speaker. (With more work
you could find all the available devices[1] and unmute each one. Someone
may already have this.).

You could change the keybinding (in the lubuntu-rc.xml file mentioned in my
previous email) to execute your script instead of the amixer command.

I wrote something like that to toggle the mousepad. It's not too
complicated.

Hello from England.

Here is an Lubuntu 16.04.3 LTS user...

You would probably get more replies and suggestions if you use English.
There might be some Spanish-specific mailing lists out there.

I have a script to do this

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~torios-dev/torios/trunk/view/head:/usr/bin/amixer-toggle

It checks for a lot of things.  basically download the raw file, then:

chmod +x amixer-toggle

sudo cp amixer-toggle /usr/bin

Change the keybinding for XF86AudioMute defined in
~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml

to

amixer-toggle

This script also will work if you have pulseaudio installed using the
pulseaudio command line tools

I have a few other scripts as well if you need

That implies it's been this way for some time. Do you know the history of
this problem? (Is the tool not maintained? If so, would it make sense to
include your script in the Lubuntu distro?).

Hi,

It is a known issue I think, at least it has been around as long as I
know of.

The script is actually part of ToriOS, and I would gladly give them to
the devs!

I have developed a lot of things to address those kinds of issues I face
in various DE/Distros.  Feel free to search launchpad for a bug, OR open
one.

you can e-mail me directly and I will weigh in on the bug report as well!
