@klerfayt: Thanks for testing the PPA -- next steps:

1.  Lets try apport-collect again -- the proper syntax should be:   sudo
apport-collect 374884   (no "-p" or "linux").

2.  Please verify that the the PPA actually got installed:  apt-cache
policy udev   (should include "Installed: 151-8~kamal~volkeys0")

3.  Please follow this procedure, which will help me identify the key
codes associated with the problematic keys on your laptop:

$ dmesg | grep keyboard
[    1.095041] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input5
(Note the number N in "inputN" at the very end of the line, where mine above says 5)

$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event5   <--- replace the "5" with whatever your N was above.
(Now press each of these keys once:  mute, volumedown, volumeup, and finally "Esc" to finish -- paste the resulting output here).


** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
