Public bug reported: I just upgraded to Xubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 and my hardware volume keys (mute, volume up, volume down) weren't working at all. They worked just fine on 16.04 and 14.04. I'm using a ThinkPad T430u.
Based on the suggestion here I installed xfce4-volumed and that fixed the problem right away: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390852&p=13763848#post13763848 Should this package be automatically installed? $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy xfce4-volumed xfce4-volumed: Installed: 0.2.0-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 0.2.0-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 0.2.0-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Thanks!
