[Bug 291878] Re: Notebook Volume Up/Down Buttons Misbehaving
That patch looks pretty simple and likely correct. The sensible next step is to push this up to the INPUT maintainer and see if they are happy with it.

Hi, am also having this issue on a HP Pavillion zv6130us 8.10 64 bit. Volume buttons act as if you hold them down for 10+ seconds until... it stops.

Ok, I've built a custom version of linux- image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb including my fix using the kernel sources fetched from ubuntu git, and despite my best efforts, the build scripts still managed to make the package in such a way that it will replace your standard kernel (rather than installing a new one under a different suffix). Maybe I should've used the old method with make-kpkg so I could specify a --append-to-version= directly. Anyway, if there is any demand for it, I'll upload the package. It seems to work fine on my box, and should it fail to boot on yours, keep the real ubuntu kernel deb and a spare kernel around just in case so you can revert to the official version.

[Bug 291878] Re: Notebook Volume Up/Down Buttons Misbehaving
Hi! I think I found the right place in the kernel to add the quirk for the keyboard on the HP Pavilion ZV6100. The issue was as I suspected caused by the laptop's keyboard never reporting key-release scancodes for the volume buttons. To try out the patch: Get intrepid kernel source cd /path/to/kernel_source/drivers/input/keyboard patch /path/to/atkbd.c.patch Rebuild kernel, install, and boot I wrote and tested the patch for a wireless-git-2.6.27-rc tree which happened to sit on my disk and it works fine there. I then adapted it so it should apply to the current intrepid kernel without conflicts (I think). I didn't actually download the whole intrepid source, but rather just looked at the atkbd.c in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu /ubuntu- intrepid.git;a=tree;f=drivers/input/keyboard;h=3057d4350d840c48f4ffe71af25ebcfb1117c242;hb=HEAD If everyone affected by this bug could try out the patch and if it doesn't work post the output of sudo dmidecode, that would be helpful. That way, I can identify your laptop model and add it to the patch. I'll see if I can get a patched intrepid kernel package built and uploaded someplace soon for people who can't patch and recompile themselves.

[Bug 291878] Re: Notebook Volume Up/Down Buttons Misbehaving
I'm using a HP Pavilion zv6000EA and also experiencing this bug. As for the behavior of the mouse button and the menu, I believe it's caused by the volume OSD (either metacity's or compiz's) appearing and preventing the menu from functioning properly. Also, a mere VT switch back and forth is sufficient for the stuck volume key to stop activating the OSD (no need to restart X). I've stumbled across similar bugs before where X thought that the Win key was pressed. Doing a VT switch back and forth helped there too. I think this bug might actually be an old bug in the atkbd linux driver or similar, which hasn't bitten us until now because of the behavior of Xorg/hotkey-setup/whatever. By running showkey -s in a VT, and from reading the man page, it seems scancodes are either 1-byte or 2-byte escaped sequences beginning with 0xe0. Pressing a key such as 'a' produces the 0x1e key-press scancode. If i hold the key for long enough, more 0x1e scancodes are produced, and when the key is finally released, a 0x9e key-release scancode is produced. It seems from looking at the codes that the corresponding key- release scancode for a certain key is always the key-press scancode + 0x80 (0x1e + 0x80 = 0x9e). Some showkey -s output: 'a' key : 0x1e 0x9e Mute key : 0xe0 0x20 0xe0 0xa0 VolDown key : 0xe0 0x2e VolUp key : 0xe0 0x30 As seen above, the VolDown and VolUp keys produce 2-byte 0xe0-escaped key-press scancodes, but there are never any corresponding 0xe0ae or 0xe0b0 key-release scancode produced! Looking at showkey -k, it is clear that the keycodes associated with the scancodes (automatically through hotkey-setup) never register a key release of the volume keys: showkey -k output pressing (in order) Mute, VolDown, VolUp: keycode 113 press keycode 113 release keycode 114 press keycode 115 press This behavior is identical in both kernel 2.6.24 from hardy (where the volume keys worked fine in Gnome) and the new intrepid 2.6.27 kernel. So I believe that some change in either Xorg or somewhere else made it actually care about the key-release event never being produced and interpret that as the key being held down (even though no additional key-press keycodes are produced). For reference, xev in X yields the following (repeating forever until i VT switch back and forth) when i press VolUp: KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276245, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276748, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276748, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276798, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276798, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x9e1, root 0x67, subw 0x0, time 6276845, (83,-15), root:(88,50), state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Also, for reference, my mute button only procuces its 2 2-byte scancodes upon key release. Nothing at all is produced until i release the key, so it is impossible to hold the key down and get more than one event in showkey -s or showkey -k. Not sure if this is hardwired in hardware or in the atkbd linux driver... Judging by the man page of setkeycodes, it doesn't seem to support keyboards not producing key-release scancodes for certain keys, since you only give one scancode (the key-press one) as input (and it figures out the +0x80 key-release code on its own...). Therefore, my guess is that this should be fixed somewhere in the kernel via a quirk to automatically yield a 0xe0ae scancode after every 0xe02e and 0xe0b0 after every 0xe030. Maybe there is already a similar quirk responsible for my mute button behavior mentioned above? Cheers, Rikard -- Notebook Volume Up/Down Buttons

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 268949 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268949 I'm not convinced that this bug is a duplicate of #268949, for two reasons: 1. 268949 describes the volume not responding at all to keyboard/button input. In this bug, the volume does respond to input, but does so continuously. I have verified that the GUI slider in the panel app does move up/down (and continues to move to max/min volume) when the volume buttons are pushed. 2. 268949 does not report the additional problems with mouse input after trying to use the volume up/down button. These two bugs may be related, but they are not the same behaviors. -- Notebook Volume Up/Down Buttons Misbehaving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this bug with 32 bit 8.10 upgraded from 7.10 (iteratively upgraded from 7.10 - 8.04 - 8.10) on a HP Pavilion ZV6233nr. The multimedia keys did work properly in 7.10. I do not know if they would have worked in 8.04. RE: Elias, these are not separate issues. Panels apps work fine until MM key is pressed (either vol up/down or mute). Then behavior as described and Panels some apps cease accepting mouse clicks. It seems that MM key driver (where ever that is) is repeatedly sending volume up/down events, even though MM key was released. The only way I have found to reset the problem (other than cold boot) is Alt-Ctrl-Del then logout and re-login. This issue is a major inconvenience. While volume can be adjusted via GUI normally, forgetting not to use MM keys requires logout/in for system to operate usably again.
