For folks using Unity, I think I got a solution that doesn't require #11 's awful sleep hack.
Using 19.04's development version of unity-settings-daemon seems to fix everything. I've rebooted 10 times straight in a row and all of them got shortcuts working. First, upgrade colord(unity-settings-daemon depends on newer version of these): colord_1.4.3-4_amd64.deb colord-data_1.4.3-4_all.deb libcolord2_1.4.3-4_amd64.deb Then, upgrade unity-settings-daemon: unity-settings-daemon_15.04.1+19.04.20181122-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb libunity-settings-daemon1_15.04.1+19.04.20181122-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb You can Google these and easily get the .deb files from official Ubuntu APT repository. Install these debs and you won't require that awful sleep hack. If anyone's still using Unity with that hack, please let me know how it goes! -- 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/1759462 Title: Keyboard shortcuts not operational on 18.04 Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing 18.04, I noticed that certain keyboard shortcuts no longer function. It appears to be related to the shortcuts that gnome-settings-daemon control as my shortcuts that are provided by my desktop (Budgie) still function. Some examples are: * Media keys for volume up/down/mute * ctrl-alt-t for the terminal. I tried changing the shortcut to test. Same behaviour. I double checked, and it looks like the needed daemon is still running, ``` dustin 3337 0.0 0.2 500736 22216 ?

However, occasionally the shortcuts do seem to work - but only very occasionally. Any other info needed?
