GNOME has tied hotkey support into gnome-shell, such that hotkeys no longer work without gnome-shell in any gnome-derivative desktops (like Unity). The GNOME team has provided a utility to restore hotkey support without gnome-shell: gnome-fallback-media-keys-helper At the moment, the only Ubuntu package available is in the Zorion OS PPA: https://launchpad.net/~zorin-os/+archive/ubuntu/packages Rather than add the whole PPA, it's probably a better idea to download the one package and install it with dpkg. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302885 Title: Media keyboard shortcuts not working Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in Unity 7.2 series: Fix Committed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: I can map the Volume Control keys in Keyboard Shortcuts e.g. Volume up/down to Volume up/down, but when I press the Volume keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I have noticed the same problem with other keys on my Logitech Internet 350 keyboard with Tools, Mail, and HomePage. They can all be mapped with Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happens afterwards when the keyboard key is pressed. All these keyboard settings worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu.
