The bug only affects those three shortcuts and ONLY if they are custom (changed from defaults): volume up, down and mute.

[Bug 1727842] Re: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10
I've been having the same issue since 17.10 and now on 18.04 with Unity same problem again. As mentioned above toggling 'Commands' plugin in CCSM (enabled, then disabled) works for me also. Whilst it isn't a perfect solution, but with the help of this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/936644/configuring-compiz-window- manager-using-command-line-utilities I managed to put together a couple of command lines (one to enable, followed by one to disable 'Commands') that can be added to startup applications which works ok for me as a workaround. for my system (yours may vary, see later) the command lines in terminal are: (enable) gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins "['core', 'composite', 'opengl', 'place', 'regex', 'resize', 'session', 'snap', 'vpswitch', 'wall', 'animation', 'commands', 'compiztoolbox', 'fade', 'grid', 'imgpng', 'mousepoll', 'move', 'scale', 'workarounds', 'expo', 'ezoom', 'switcher', 'unityshell']" (disable) gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins "['core', 'composite', 'opengl', 'place', 'regex', 'resize', 'session', 'snap', 'vpswitch', 'wall', 'animation', 'compiztoolbox', 'fade', 'grid', 'imgpng', 'mousepoll', 'move', 'scale', 'workarounds', 'expo', 'ezoom', 'switcher', 'unityshell']" As i say above, your active plugins list may be different, if you issue the following command (with 'Command' enabled and then disabled in CCSM you will get the lists you need. Basically both lists are the same, just the enable includes 'commands' and the disable excludes 'commands': #dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ | grep active- plugins So add an ENABLE command to startup applications and a DISABLE command to startup applications. I did have a go a putting both commands into a bash script but with no luck, it isn't something i'm well versed with. Having the two commands as individual startup applications has worked for me though with multiple reboots and volume keys working everytime.

I can confirm that keyboard layout switching 1. stops working after lightdm/unity lock screen appears 2. continues to work if I toggle the Commands plugin in ccsm. Does not matter if I'm disabling or enabling, any toggle does the trick. Moreover, toggling any other plugin makes keyboard layout switching work, not just commands. E.g. try with Color filter. Seems like toggling a plugin restarts compiz. I guess the bug is somewhere in compiz.

One more datapoint: running unity/lightdm 18.04 on Dell XPS 13. At first my media keys didn't work, along with KB layout switch, ctrl+alt+T for terminal, etc. Installing ccsm and disabling commands plugin helped with most. Keyboard layout switch using alt+shift/ctrl+shift works fine after first login. However, after locking/logging out and logging back in, alt+shift stops responding, requiring toggling ccsm/commands to make it switch layouts again. KB layout switch using ctrl+shift works at all times (but bug #1683383 rears it's ugly head whenever I'm trying to copy/paste from/to terminal using ctrl+shift+[CV]). KB layout switch using super+space never works for me. No keyboard shortcuts at all work on lightdm login screen.

Today I was able to get media keys working about every 3rd restart of unity-settings-daemon. I've saved 2 logs of each state. I suspect it has to do with the order the plugins are loaded. ** Attachment added: "mylogs.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+attachment/5025782/+files/mylogs.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727842 Title: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1727842] Re: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10
I did some testing during the last days, and still this bug remains really strange.. I could not find a way to really reliable reproduce it or make it disappear. I did several clean test installations of Ubuntu 17.10 and made the following steps after installation: - First boot, log in (Gnome desktop starts) - Install Unity: apt install unity-session, reboot - Second boot, select Unity at GDM login - Test if media keys, power button etc. work. Usually, it seems that the bug does _not_ appear on this second boot. - Do nothing else, reboot. - Third boot: Log in to Unity, test again, if keys work. Usually, the bug appears this time. - On further reboots of the system, the bug may appear or not. Then I did some testing with running 'unity-session-daemon --debug -r', and found out that it is possible to make the bug randomly appear or disappear by restarting unity-session-daemon. The first briefly tests were run on my clean test installation, and afterwards I did some more exhaustive testing on my "main" Ubuntu installation, where the bug had appeared permanently so far. During this "exhaustive testing" I repeatedly restarted u-s-d and checked every time if the keys were working. I had to do this approximately 15 times, until the bug disappeared for the first time and the keys worked! I am attaching two log files: - One containing a log of unity-settings-daemon where media keys etc. _did_ work - Another one with a log of u-s-d where the bug appeared and they didn't work Kind regards, Jan ** Attachment added: "Log file of start of 'unity-settings-daemon --debug -r' that lead to working keys" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+attachment/5025609/+files/unity-settings-daemon%20working%20keybindings.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727842 Title: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1727842] Re: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10
I did another test: I mounted my home partition which I normally use only on my primary Ubuntu installation (the one affected by the bug, see comment #8) on my secondary installation (the one _not_ affected by the bug). The result was interesting: The bug did not appear when booting this secondary installation with my "primary" home partition mounted as /home. The volume keys and other hotkeys still worked as exspected. So this seemes to narrow down the problem cause a bit. Apparently, the bug has nothing to do with anything contained in the /home-directory. And, like described in #8, it seems to have nothing to do with certain packages installed, because I couldn't reproduce the bug by installing the same package selection on both systems. So the cause of the bug seems to be "something system-wide" - like a different configuration option somewhere where I have no idea what had introduced it. I tried to spot some configuration differences by comparing /etc directories of both installations via diff - but none of the few differences seemes to be related to the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727842 Title: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1727842] Re: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10
I'm seeing this problem too. What's really confusing for me is: 1. I have two fresh installs of Ubuntu 17.10 on different partitions 2. This bug occurs only on one of those installations; all keybindings work fine on the other one! 3. On the affected installation, the bug also occurs on freshly created, pristine user accounts. 4. I tried to reproduce the bug by making those two installations as similar as possible. E.g. I installed the same packages on the unaffected installation that I had installed on the affected installation - but still the bug did not appear there! 5. The main difference between those installations is that the affected one uses an exitisting home partition where all those application/desktop envirement configuration files of my main user account are existing since a long number of previous Ubuntu releases. While the unaffected installation doesn't use that home partition and a completely fresh home directory was created for the main user account. Well, one could think the bug is caused by some sort of faulty/"rotten" configuration file - but that doesn't explain, why freshly created user accounts on this installation are also affected from this bug (as described in 3. )... The affected keybindings for me are (at least) application shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + t), Volume keys and the Print-Button (which normally would make a screenshot).
