Please see the updated conversation in the gnome Bugtracker. For me I looks like this a thing related to (d/p/revert-gsettings- removals.patch: Refreshed), because if I disable the wacom plugin..
sudo mv /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/wacom.gnome-settings-plugin /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/.wacom.gnome-settings-plugin.bak gsd works as expected again. (yay!) @Joe can you confirm? I don't why we didn't catch that earlier. Is it the case the patches are already applied in the source I download with `apt-get source gnome-settings-daemon` and I have to revert the manually? I thought it would suffice to delete all patches in debian/patches directory. Also in the patch there is a reference to (" plugins/power/gsd-power- manager.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++"), but the actual change is not there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1427877 Title: Media, brightness and volume keys don't work with GNOME 3.15.90 Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Incomplete Status in GNOME Shell: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid to use GNOME 3.15.90 (by using gnome3-team/gnome3, gnome3-team/gnome3-staging ppas) media, brightness and volume keys from my laptop keyboard stop to work after working some time in a session or after suspending the computer.
