Well of the listed packages, gnome-settings-daemon would be my first suspect. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 6:01 PM, Mario Vukelic <<a href="mailto:mario.vukelic@dantian.org">mario.vukelic@dantian.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, today a number of updates were pulled, aptitude log excerpt follows below. They included gnome-settings-daemon and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-8-generic, both from intrepid-proposed. I suppose one of them made the hardware buttons on my laptop (hp nc6440) non-functional, though I only ever used the sound buttons and can't vouch for the others. However, the list in System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts is only a long list of <Unknown Action> <Disabled> in categories Sound and Desktop. The category Window Management is ok. I am not sure for what package to file this in Launchpad, any ideas?
