Paul Kishimoto, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 911064 Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Fn key not working ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913601 Title: 'fn' key not functional on Apple wireless keyboard Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a brand-new wireless Apple wireless keyboard, connected using Bluetooth. Some of the f-keys on this keyboard apparently have additional functions: F1: decrease brightness F2: increase brightness F3: ? F4: ? F7: previous track F8: play/pause F9: next track F10: mute F11: decrease volume F12: increase volume In addition, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard indicates that Insert, Delete, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End should be available through using 'fn' with other keys. None of these appear to work. Pressing 'fn' with any other key is identical to pressing that key on its own. Using 'xev' confirms this. I also notice that the kernel module hid_apple is not loaded when my keyboard is connected. There seem to be other bug reports (e.g. bug #227501, bug #499013) which report new versions of Apple peripherals having new device IDs, which prevent Ubuntu from configuring them properly when they are connected. In some cases the fix seems to be a custom kernel (!) or kernel patch. I don't know if this is the issue here. Please let me know what additional information or testing I can provide to help fix this bug.
