** Summary changed: - regression: keyboard backlight hotkeys no longer functional + regression: hotkeys no longer functional
** Description changed: - A recent change to 13.10 has broken userspace control of the keyboard - backlight on my MacbookPro3,1.

This + was working well until about a week ago (1st week of October 2013). + + The underlying (kernel) functionality still works; for example this will turn off the keyboard backlight with no problem: echo 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness Therefore I assume it's a gnome-settings-daemon (or upower?) regression. To reproduce: - 1) Login. Note the state of the keyboard backlight (should beon, 100%) - 2) Press a keyboard backlight hotkey + 1) Login + 2) Press a hotkey (for example screen brightness; keyboard backlight; etc) Expected results: Keyboard backlight changes when you press the hotkey Actual results: - Nothing happens when you press any of the keyboard backlight hotkeys + Nothing happens when you press any of the hotkeys ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 14 20:09:56 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-09-17 (1123 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta amd64 (20100901.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-08-07 (68 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239886 Title: regression: hotkeys no longer functional To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1239886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
