Public bug reported: problem occurs with debian buster 10.9 xfce installed with the cd iso.
desktop 1. this system has a logitech keyboard k120 which does not have multimedia keys so i assign keyboard shortcuts as such : pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 +5% : to increase sound pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 -5% : to decrease sound pactl -- set-sink-mute 0 toggle : to mute sound next i play a video with parole which is default / built-in in the buster 10.9 xfce cd iso. if i use the keyboard shortcut assigned by me to decrease volume it works but the keyboard shortcut assigned by me to increase volume will not work with parole. the keyboard shortcuts for volume assigned by me work perfectly with mpv & vlc but now with the default / built-in media player parole. desktop 2. this system has a dell keyboard kb216 which does have hardware multimedia keys & even on this computer the same problem with parole. if play a video with parole the keyboard button to decrease volume will decrease volume but the keyboard button to increase volume does nothing. the shortcut keys assigned by me on the logitech keyboard on desktop 1 & the hardware multimedia keys on the dell keyboard on desktop 1 work perfectly system wide & even with browsers while playing youtube videos & streaming news but with parole the increase volume part fails. the previous versions of buster were cool with no pre-installed media players. if debian has to pack in a media player in the iso, celluloid is an excellent player i.m.o. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: debian media parole player -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929308 Title: parole media player volume key fails in debian xfce To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1929308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
