Marked bug as non-duplicate. If this volume-control/repeat-forever bug is still affecting you:
It has come to my attention that there is a flood of keyboard volume button/wheel =hardware= quirks that have never been dealt with, all having the same general problems: you press volume button (up or down), volume goes all the way up or down, and then your input (may) become unresponsive to varying degree. To keep a long story short, there is a fair chance (though not guaranteed) that this is a kernel input driver bug/quirk for your volume control input device. (and even if not, the following will help determine what is wrong) What I need the bug submitter to do (if not already), is to provide a model number for their laptop/desktop (or if custom-built, provide the model number of your: keyboard or multimedia device with the volume control realted to this bug) - and if you could please, put that model number in the summery with something like this: "Toshiba Satellite U300 volume button repeating forever" If we can keep these volume control quirks pertaining to the __system/hardware in question__, it will help the maintainers a lot more. Althought I can't guarantee/guess immediately what is going on here, what I will suggest is: For the system/hardware that this volume bug applies to ONLY, provide some logs of the following: (If you get some logs that run repeating forever, please cut them short) # echo "dmidecode > mydmilog.txt" | sudo bash # echo "showkey -s > mykeylog.txt" | sudo bash (use your volume up, volume down, volume up, and then volume down) # echo "xev > myxevlog.txt" | sudo bash (use your volume up, and volume down) This will greatly assist the maintainers in understanding and dealing with your bug. Hopefully this helps speed these problems along :) ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 271706 Toshiba Satellite U300 volume wheel sticking -- volume control doesn't work with HP laptop volume buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
