You have been subscribed to a public bug: On raring (and precise) the display brightness keys (fn+f4 and fn+f5) on my Dell Inspiron 14z turned the brightness up and down. After a saucy upgrade this no longer happens (I don't see the popup brightness bubble either). The other, similar keys (volume adjustment, etc) still work fine.
Changing the values in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness works (temporarily - it gets reset after the screen lock kicks in) I tried following the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting but this appears to be out of date (it references /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt which does not exist) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 $ apt-cache policy udev udev: Installed: 204-0ubuntu12 Candidate: 204-0ubuntu12 Version table: *** 204-0ubuntu12 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [keymap] display brightness keys stop working after saucy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1229591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
