[Bug 1295994] Re: Unable to use Printscreen Button on Ubuntu 14.04 in GNOME Shell

2014-07-03 Thread Palmar Thorsteinsson
This happened to me on a Thinkpad T430 after an upgrade to 14.04. Print screen worked on 13.10 before the upgrade. I don't know if this is related but I also seem to have lost the functionality of the keyboard volume keys and Fn keys, such as for controlling screen brightness. -- You received

This happened to me when upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04. I did not have any special Grub settings as far as I know. I was unable to manually boot from the Grub rescue prompt as it could not read the partition filesystems (said they were msdos while they are ext). I tried the recommended solution

Publishing does not work in Shotwell with Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 using package 0.18.0-0ubuntu4. Although the reported bug is technically solved I agree with Sebastian Bacher that this is a buggy change. Should there be a separate bug report for the regression or is this bug an appropriate place to

I am having the exact same problem on my Thinkpad T61 (8895-CTO) running 11.04, Natty. This is a fresh install but I have not used Linux on this machine before so I don't know if other versions would behave the same. I have a feeling that this is caused by the Intel graphics card or driver issues
