just wondering if anyone is ever going to look into this? In KControl, go to KDE components->Services manager (or whatever it's called exactly) and turn off the KMilo module. Then logout and login again. Please report back whether this helps. I just upgraded to kde 3.5. My previous KDE version did not give me any trouble with this, but now I can not increase the volume any longe (mute and decrease works fine) I tried the kmilo-thing (logout-login) several times, didn't help me :-( Is there any config-file for kmilo that I'd might look into? yeah that didn't Fix it Cristian, you can turn the volume down with the volume wheel but not up.. OK, my guess is that some other application grabs the Key. Lets try to find out which one. Please execute the following commands and post the output here: grep XF86AudioRaise ~/.kde/share/config/* | grep -v kmix grep XF86AudioRaise ~/.kde/share/config/* | grep kmix Same problem here (can lower but not raise). I firstly found the problem in a 3.5.* version of KDE ... don't remember wich one. Using gentoo kde 3.5.3 ebuilds. Both grep gave me nothing ... BTW, I'm also using a Logitech keyboard. xev gives me the XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode without problem. Ok, the reason of the problem can be found here : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/37345. When there are two bindings for XF86AudioRaiseVolume in xkb, this doesn't work anymore. So the workaround is to remove the line " key <I2F> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };" from the "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet" file in the "logitech_base" section. But the question is : is it a KDE bug or a X.org one ? I don't know xkb enough to answer, please tell me so that I can fill a X.org bug if relevant. Julien, a very big thanks for digging that up. :-) So who is the "guilty" one? It looks like several developers have been heavily arguing whether this is a bug in the keymap or in the apps. The arguing has been going on in different bug tracking systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Freedesktop). There seems to be a final consensus, that the bug is in the keymap, and every group has fixed the bug like you did. I am not 100% sure who is managing the keymap (should be x.org, but please check before you decide to file a bug report there). As a reference here are some links for the interested: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7095 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-June/018851.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/07/msg00394.html So the workaround is to remove the conflicting "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" line in the X11/xkb/symbols/inet file. According to the rules layed out in http://bugs.kde.org/bug_status.html, I will close this bug report with "INVALID". *** Bug 155471 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
