I did another test: I mounted my home partition which I normally use only on my primary Ubuntu installation (the one affected by the bug, see comment #8) on my secondary installation (the one _not_ affected by the bug).
The result was interesting: The bug did not appear when booting this secondary installation with my "primary" home partition mounted as /home. The volume keys and other hotkeys still worked as exspected. So this seemes to narrow down the problem cause a bit. Apparently, the bug has nothing to do with anything contained in the /home-directory. And, like described in #8, it seems to have nothing to do with certain packages installed, because I couldn't reproduce the bug by installing the same package selection on both systems. So the cause of the bug seems to be "something system-wide" - like a different configuration option somewhere where I have no idea what had introduced it. I tried to spot some configuration differences by comparing /etc directories of both installations via diff - but none of the few differences seemes to be related to the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1727842 Title: Volume and Mute buttons on keyboard not doing anything in Unity after upgrade to 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1727842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
