Using Kubuntu Edgy on a Samsung P10 laptop there is still a problem : dmidecode returns "SAMSUNG" in upper case which does not match "Samsung" in /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup.
This laptop has three keys at the top of the keyboard: "WWW symbol", "Email", "Tick symbol", multimedia keys at the bottom (vol +/-, stop, play/pause, ffwd, rew), and mute and vol+/- keys on the keyboard. Out of the box two of the three top keys do not have a keycode and give no output in xev. $ sudo dmidecode --string system-manufacturer SAMSUNG $ sudo dmidecode --string system-product-name SENSP10 $ sudo dmidecode --string system-version 08AE /usr/share/hotkey-setup/samsung.hk: # Samsung X05 # (i) [x] [v/] [wifi] setkeycodes 75 $KEY_WWW # setkeycodes 78 $KEY_MAIL # setkeycodes 74 $KEY_PROG1 # Looks like Tick Fix: When I replace "Samsung" with "SAMSUNG" all three top keys (and all the other ones) work and I am able to use them to launch applications in KDE in System Settings/Keyboard and Mouse/Keyboard Shortcuts/Command Shortcuts. So it looks like the string comparison should be changed -- add the uppercase string or make the comparison case insensitive. -- Samsung X05 laptop - Hotkeys not working https://launchpad.net/bugs/23165 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
