I am running 18.04 with unity and just tested some other Desktops that are installed long time also: LXQt, Budgie, gnome (wayland and xorg). Gnome crashed on both. After relogin to unity the keys didnt work while "sudo showkey" shows that the buttons are working. They even get the function in the Shortcut dialog in the systemsettings.
Turns out it was the "commands" plugin in ccsm that was activated. Installed ccsm, deactivated commands: Buttons work again. -- 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
