Can confirm this issue on Ubuntu 11.10, using Unity session. This affects both my USB keyboard (Dell OEM), and my media keys on the ThinkPad T410s.
Using "sudo showkey", I can see that the OS detects keycode 165,164,163 and 166 (rewind, play/pause, forward, stop) on both the keyboards, but a big "Ø" shows up on the screen when pressed. Mute and volume buttons work as expected. Hope a fix can be released soon! :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/860600 Title: Media keys aren't working (Ubuntu 11.10, Pithos latest daily) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/860600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
