apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected xenial
** Description changed: I have a gigabyte P57 laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.8.x. My brightness control keys (fn+F3, fn+F4) are not getting detected. After reading about how keypresses are handled by the Linux kernel, I used showkey to check the scancodes of these keys. I did not get any output. Similarly no output from xev, evtest and acpi_listen. - Just for your reference, other keys like volume up (fn+F9) are working - alright. + Just for your reference, other keys like volume up (fn+F9) are working alright. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 + Architecture: amd64 + CurrentDesktop: Unity + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-12-14 (65 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia + Package: linux (not installed) + Tags: xenial + Uname: Linux 4.8.0-040800-generic x86_64 + UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo + _MarkForUpload: True ** Attachment added: "JournalErrors.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665530/+attachment/4820565/+files/JournalErrors.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665530 Title: Brightness control keys not working on Gigabyte P57 laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1665530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
