** Description changed: - - The Function Key in my laptop worked great in Oneiric 11.10, until I did package updates and it got messed up. + The Function Key in my laptop worked great in Oneiric 11.10, until I did + package updates and it got messed up. I regularly do package updates and only noticed it today, so I guess it has to be somewhere between 1-2 ago... Problem: All keys that used to work in combination with Function Key no longer work. I will give a more specific example. In my laptop FnKey+F12 increases volume. After it regressed, F12 alone increases volume (works like FnKey+F12), while FnKey+F12 works like F12. The same goes for the rest of the keys that used to work in combination with FnKey. + + SOLUTION: I don't know what trigered the change, but there was a change in the BIOS settings that affects the default function of the "Function KEY". Toggling this option + in the bios settings does the job. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic 3.0.0-15.26 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
