2008-10-19 15:45:09 Nick B. description Binary package hint: hotkey-setup hotkey-setup doesn't seem to be running during bootup on Intrepid. There are 2 media keys on my laptop (HP dv6500t) that don't work until I run "sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start". Unless I do that they are not detected by anything including gnome-keybinding-properties, xev, or even any output in dmesg. If I do "sudo /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup stop" I can reproduce the behavior of the keys not working just like they would after a bootup. This makes me think either hotkey-setup is not being executed on bootup or its settings are being overridden by something else later in the boot process. These keys previously worked fine without any tweaking in Hardy. hotkey-setup: Installed: 0.1-23ubuntu5 Candidate: 0.1-23ubuntu5 Version table: *** 0.1-23ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status There are two hotkeys on the HP Pavilion dv6500 series of laptops. The Quick Play and DVD buttons. Previously hotkey-setup was responsible for mapping these keys, but now it looks like hal is mapping these keys. But it's broken. Line 21 of /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-hp.fdi <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e008:player</append> <!-- FIXME: quick play --> and the line for the DVD button looks ok but it doesn't seem to be working either. <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e00e:dvd</append> <!-- dvd --> I've tried substituting different keycodes and restarting hal without any success. As a workaround to get these keys working I've put /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup start in /etc/rc.local Both of these buttons previously worked fine in Hardy. hal: Installed: 0.5.11-4ubuntu3 Candidate: 0.5.11-4ubuntu3 Version table: *** 0.5.11-4ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
