Public bug reported: Since upgrading to intrepid, the volume down button now stops Rhythmbox from playing. It also happens to turn down the volume as well. It worked fine in edgy, feisty, gusty and hardy and only broke in the upgrade to intrepid.
If I open Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, and try to reassign Volume down by clicking on "Volume down" and pressing the volume down key when it says "New shortcut...", the shortcut is assigned to "XF86AudioStop". Similarly, if I press the stop key (Fn+Up arrow on this laptop), it also sends XF86AudioStop. Similarly, the volume up key sends "XF86AudioRewind", and the mute key "XF86ScreenSaver". All the keys still perform their expected function, but the volume down key specifically also stops rhythmbox. The real Stop/Prev/Next/Play keys send the correct event and work as intended. I've attached my xmodmap and the outputs from xev on pressing each of the keys. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Thinkpad T60 volume down button stops music https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293376 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
