Title:
regression: hotkeys no longer functional
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
[edit: originally this bug was just about keyboard backlight hotkeys,
but it turns out all hotkeys are broken]
A recent change to 13.10 has broken hotkeys on my MacbookPro3,1. This
was working well until about a week ago (1st week of October 2013).
The underlying (kernel) functionality still works; for example this will turn
off the keyboard backlight with no problem:
echo 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness
Therefore I assume it's a gnome-settings-daemon (or upower?)
regression.
To reproduce:
1) Login
2) Press a hotkey (for example screen brightness; keyboard backlight; etc)
Expected results:
Keyboard backlight changes when you press the hotkey
Actual results:
Nothing happens when you press any of the hotkeys
