Description Franco Pellegrini 2018-02-08 18:32:35 UTC

I upgraded to KDE 5.12.0 last night, and some of my default global shortcuts are no longer working.

KDE: 5.12.0
Frameworks: 5.42.0
QT: 5.9.3
Kernel: 4.4.0-112-generic

The following global shortcuts no longer work:
Mic Mute
Brightness down
Brightness up


The following global shortcuts continue to work fine:
Audio mute
Audio Volume down
Audio Volume up
Change screen layout
Wifi On/Off
Search


The keys are sending events fine, and when trying to configure the shortcut I am getting the conflict warning:

However I cannot mute/unmute my microphone nor change screen brightness when pressing them.

This is what I get from xev:

Reassigning to powerdevil as powerdevil shortcuts are affected.

There are no changes in kglobalaccel.

I can confirm this at least for "Mute Microphone". I don't have a dedicate key for that, so I set it to Meta+F3. It stopped working after upgrading to Plasma 5.12.

Plasma: 5.12.0
Frameworks: 5.42.0
Qt: 5.10.0

Comment 3 Luca Weiss 2018-02-10 17:38:47 UTC

I am also experiencing problems with shortcuts on 5.12.

Working:
Wifi toggle
Display brightness down
Display brightness up
Display on/off (I think this one isn't handled by plasma though)
External display
Touchpad toggle (well it's affected by another bug)
Audio mute, louder, quieter

Not working:
Suspend
Keyboard brightness down
Keyboard brightness up

Also, this seems to be a duplicate of Bug 389991
