The reason the fn + audio keys don't do anything is that the commands in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml are lik
<command>amixer -q sset Master 3%+</command> <command>amixer -q sset Master 3%-</command> <command>amixer -q sset Master toggle</command> The problem with this is that amixer can't find anything on my system with the -c1 option there. Another problem is taht while toggling master off mutes everything, toggling it again does not unmute everything. So, I changed these things in lubuntu-rc.xml to invoke these scripts (I got some of the ideas from someobody else's post from somewhere else) volume_up.sh: #!/bin/bash CURRENT_STATE=`amixer -c 1 get Master | egrep 'Playback.*?\[o' | egrep -o '\[o.+\]'` if [[ $CURRENT_STATE == '[on]' ]]; then #amixer -q -c 1 set Master mute cd . # just a noop else amixer -q -c 1 set Master unmute amixer -q -c 1 set Headphone unmute amixer -q -c 1 set Speaker unmute fi amixer -q -c 1 sset Master 3dB+ unmute volume_down.sh: #!/bin/bash CURRENT_STATE=`amixer -c 1 get Master | egrep 'Playback.*?\[o' | egrep -o '\[o.+\]'` if [[ $CURRENT_STATE == '[on]' ]]; then #amixer -q -c 1 set Master mute cd . # just a noop else amixer -q -c 1 set Master unmute amixer -q -c 1 set Headphone unmute amixer -q -c 1 set Speaker unmute fi amixer -q -c 1 sset Master 3dB- unmute toggle_mute.sh: #!/bin/bash CURRENT_STATE=`amixer -c 1 get Master | egrep 'Playback.*?\[o' | egrep -o '\[o.+\]'` if [[ $CURRENT_STATE == '[on]' ]]; then amixer -c 1 set Master mute else amixer -c 1 set Master unmute amixer -c 1 set Headphone unmute amixer -c 1 set Speaker unmute fi % changes iin volume work too, i just like the progression with +/- 3dB better -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991858 Title: volume keys stop working after brightness keys are used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/991858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
