I'm not upgrading the BIOS (nonsense requirement) and I'm not testing the mainstream kernel (no time to do that).
That should not be a reason for closing the bug. I have reported it and it's as much as I can do. This might not even be in the kernel, I reported it against linux just because I have no idea what package is really responsible. That the OP (in this case me) isn't willing to do additional debugging work doesn't mean the bug should expire, it's not like the person who reports it is the only one affected. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353129 Title: [REGRESSION 2014-08] Volume up/down keys, and printScreen key, have stopped working Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: All of a sudden, the volume keys from the keyboard have stopped working. The volume control on the top right corner of the screen does work if used with the mouse. I have both an external usb keyboard with dedicated volume + and - keys, and the builtin laptop keyboard where the volume +/-keys are the combination of the Fn key plus the up/down arrows. All these used to work up to a few minutes ago. Now none of them works. I think they stopped working with the last reboot.
