Public bug reported: Summary: Several models of Medion laptops need to be added to `/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb` so that volume keys don't auto- repeat indefinitely.
---- I just installed Xubuntu on a Medion P6689 MD61019 laptop, and it turns out that pressing the volume keys (Fn-F11/F12) causes them to auto- repeat indefinitely, increasing/decreasing the volume until reaching 100%/0%. Same happens with mute (Fn-F10). Apparently these keys only send key press events but not key release ones. It seems that this issue is common in Medion laptops: * https://askubuntu.com/questions/994333/volume-buttons-stay-pressed * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1048531/volume-control-keys-mute-volume-up-down-auto-repeat-key-presses * https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233114 For those affected by this bug, I posted a workaround here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1061500/854656 I've attached the file with the workaround as I have it in my laptop right now. ---- Ubuntu release: Xubuntu 18.04.1 64b (bionic) Package version: udev 237-3ubuntu10.3 Laptop model: Medion P6689 MD61019 ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: auto-repeat keyboard keys laptop medion udev volume ** Attachment added: "Lines to add to /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb (possibly with a different :pn pattern)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784903/+attachment/5170491/+files/99-keyboard-medion-vol-fix.hwdb ** Tags added: laptop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784903 Title: Volume keys auto-repeat indefinitely in Medion laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1784903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
