Seems that i8kbuttons doesn't start well... this is init script (part of interest): if [ -n "$VOLUME_UP$VOLUME_DOWN$VOLUME_MUTE" ] ; then ebegin "Starting i8kbuttons" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/i8kbuttons.pid \ --make-pidfile --exec /usr/bin/i8kbuttons --background \ -- ${VOLUME_UP:+-u "${VOLUME_UP}"} \ ${VOLUME_DOWN:+-d "$VOLUME_DOWN"} \ ${VOLUME_MUTE:+-m "$VOLUME_MUTE"} \ ${BUTTON_REPEAT:+-r "$BUTTON_REPEAT"} eend $? fi If I try to start it (as root) # i8kbuttons -m "/usr/bin/amixer -q set Master toggle" ioctl failed: Invalid argument Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
same here
taking over this package. I'll try to look at this problem this weekend
which kernel are you using? do you have the i8k driver loaded as a module or compiled into your kernel? does /proc/i8k exist and what does it contain?
# uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.14-suspend2-r10 #2 PREEMPT Tue Jan 10 14:14:15 CET 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I'm using i8k as module # cat /proc/i8k 1.0 A03 BHPMW1J 42 -22 2 27660 110100 -1 -22 I hope these infos can help you ;)
I can't reproduce.. is there anything special in dmesg ? Could you please strace it?
Which model do you use? Please try the following: Create a file with this contents: --- keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume --- Load the file using xmodmap.
I stop using i8kbuttons since gnome start recognize up,down,toggle volume :) Now I am interested in Fn keys like "eject, battery..."
So you are using a model that does not support the i8k module at all. You can close this bug, and try to find the right key codes for the required keys.
I have a DELL Latitude D510
