Title: Samsung Chromebook: Multimedia keys act as F-Keys and produce no scan code Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got XUbuntu/saucy on this US$250 Samsung Chromebook 5. It runs very well, it just had a couple of minor issues that need to be fixed and it'll be an awesome little Ubuntu laptop with a regular Ubuntu install! The volume and brightness keys don't work. When I checked them out using xev, they were returning F keys: F1 - back (i.e. like in a browser) F2 - forward F3 - refresh F4 - fullscreen F5 - switch screen mode F6 - brightness down F7 - brightness up F8 - mute F9 - volume down F10 - volume up I'm happy to try my hand at fixing it, but the documentation in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting pointed towards a non- existent file for directions on the next steps: /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: udev 204-0ubuntu19 Uname: Linux 3.4.0-5-chromebook armv7l ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: armhf CustomUdevRuleFiles: 99-hide-disks.rules Date: Wed Nov 6 22:32:06 2013 MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: cros_secure console= console=tty1 debug verbose root=/dev/mmcblk1p7 rootwait rw lsm.module_locking=0 SourcePackage: systemd UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-24 (13 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1248808/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
