gratefulfrog, as per https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX303LN/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (206). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: hotkey touchpad ** Tags added: bios-outdated-206 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/1464561 Title: [Asus UX303LN] several hotkeys don't produce evdev event Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Running Xubuntu on an Asus UX303LN laptop. The touchpad disable/enable hotkey (F9) does nothing. This makes it very hard to use the machine since the touchpad is constantly capturing random "mouse movements", making it impossible to enter text in the right place. When I use the machine I have an external bluetooth mouse, and disable the touhpad in the settings menu, so I can type, but it would be much better to have the option to use the touchpad, and switch it on/off. Also, if the bluetooth connection is lost, then I can do nothing and have to reboot! I have no idea how to debug this but would be happy to help. Another hotkey that does not work is F2 "airplane mode". This one is of no importance to me, but I mention it for completeness. I am really hoping for a fix! I am a Ubuntu beta-tester from long ago, and helped on the 1st 64bit version! Let me know, please!, Cheers, Bob I have attached all the files specified on the hotkey bug reporting page. I put them in an archive since that seems to be the only option for attaching multiple files? udevadm info --export-db > udev-db.txt dmesg > dmesg.log sudo lsinput > lsinput.log xkbcomp -xkb :0 - > xkbcomp.txt setxkbmap -print > xkbmap.txt ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: udev 219-7ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-18.18-generic 3.19.6 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Fri Jun 12 10:05:56 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-11 (31 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422.1) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0a2a Intel Corp.
