I see a bunch of apparently different issues described in several comments here.
What I observe on 16.04 is that, at random times (usually after booting, not sure if I ever observed it in the middle of a session), these shortcuts among others stop working: volume up/down keys, Ctrl+Alt+T for opening a terminal, PrintScreen and Shift+PrintScreen, and not sure what else. However, alt+tab and some others keep working normally. When I observe this, unity-settings-daemon has NOT crashed (at least, ps aux shows it as a running process, I guess it means it has not crashed strictly speaking), contrary to comment 5. Restarting unity-settings-daemon (by killing it, it restarts automatically) fixes the issue for me 100% of the times, without the need to do anything else. Is this the same issue this report is about, or not? I had reported it separately as issue 1731294 and I'm told it's a duplicate. My impression is that there are several completely different issues here being mixed together, and 1731294 might be one of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188569 Title: Some keyboard shortcuts randomly stop working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1188569/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
