I am doing the same as #10 on Oracular on the same system. I am trying to validate this issue by disabling related lines in /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb for the device, systemd-hwdb update, update-initramfs then reboot.
The original version of xserver-xorg-input-libinput was 1.4.0-1build1 1. Logged in using GNOME Xorg, the mic mute key does not work to toggle the microphone mute state in the desktop. The LED on Mic Mute button does toggle, and the internal mic is disabled, though the UI still keeps the mic input volume. (Note that comparing to the behavior under Wayland, the same key does turn the input volume toggled on and off, and has HUD displaying the current mic volume, and it also affects USB-C headset attached to the system) 2. Install the package built in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input- libinput/1.4.0-1ubuntu24.10.1, and tested that mic mute key is working in GNOME Xorg, as the same behavior like Wayland described above. Regression test Restore /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb for the device, systemd- hwdb update, update-initramfs, and install the old version of xserver- xorg-input-libinput then reboot 1. Logged in using GNOME Xorg, the mic mute key is working as expected like the behavior described above. 2. Update xserver-xorg-input-libinput to the uploaded version (1.4.0-1ubuntu24.10.1), the mic mute key is still working as expected. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-oracular ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-oracular -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2103967 Title: [SRU] Include a patch that forcibly maps mic mute key and touchpad function keys to F20-F23 Status in OEM Priority Project: In Progress Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput source package in Oracular: Fix Committed Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput source package in Plucky: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] == Background == * Xorg does not take keycodes > 255, where Mic Mute is mapped to 256 by evdev * xkeyboard-config remapped the key to F20 since this patch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54171 along with other hardware-specific hacks in hwdb. == Current status == * We happened to have some devices having Mic Mute key untranslated by hwdb, typically we just add entries in hwdb to fix the issue * Systemd devs decided not to translate the key to F20 anymore, the translation task is pushed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput for Xorg. We would like to include a patch, so that xserver-xorg-input-libinput can do translation for Xorg, which we could leverage it for enabling Mic Mute key in future hardware. [ Test Plan ] * Find a device that does not have Mic Mute key translated by hwdb, starts Desktop in Xorg mode * Test that mic mute does not work * Update the package to -proposed and restart desktop, test the same key, the mic mute key should work to mute the microphone. [ Where problems could occur ] * Since mic mute key is forcibly translated to F20 despite of hardware, if there's any application using that key for other features, it may be in conflict.
