Bug 367107 – media keys (volume control) dont work after update

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description selberbauer 2011-05-13 16:11:02 UTC]

After a bigger world update i got the problem that especially three media keys dont work anymore: volume up, volume down, mute.
The strange is that i am getting a Volume picture when pressing the volume kontrol keys but this doesnt change (the pic doesnt get louder) and the volume also stays - play/pause, next and so one work fine. Gnome seems to registrate the keys successful and also defines them right as volume control but they dont access alsa (i think) in any way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mplayer
2.press volume up, volume down, mute

Actual Results:  
see a volume pic popping up
volume doesnt change - pic also doesnt change

Expected Results:  
The volume should get as example louder and the pic should add some waves

Update from...to...?

your version and useflags on gnome-settings-daemon ?
If you use something else, you need to tell that too.

I cant give the precise packages but the second last was in the beginning of april then i didnt updated for a while until before yesterday.
There where 80 Packages updated with nearly every sort including (gnome, kernel, media, editors, browser,...)

I am using gnome-mplayer (the latest) i didnt really change any settings in gnome itself or any conf depending on media packages, so it has to relay on the update


make.conf:
cat /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.
CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O3 -pipe"
MAKEOPTS="-j9"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Kernel: 2.6.38-r5 (self compiled no genkernel but using old .config from kernels before so kernel shouldnt be the problem i think)

what should i post you about the gnome-settings-daemon?
which command?

thanks for the quick answer, regards
