Thread: Media Key causes unity freeze (lemur ultra)


i have pretty new system76 lemur ultra running ubuntu 12.10. i've noticed annoying bug lemur ultra's play/pause key , unity. @ first thought rhythmbox bug happens every single media player:

50% of time when use play/pause key on keyboard (fn + `), causes unity semi-freeze, can't click on indicators , dash won't open, can mouse on stuff on launcher , tooltips show. freeze lasts until hit media key again, when bug triggers media key doesn't have effect on play/pause until un-triggers (i can make go away hitting key few times). infuriating! doesn't happen on of other laptops running ubuntu, seems issue specific system76's media key...

i've made video of looks when bug triggered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52taf...ature=youtu.be

edit: i've been able reproduce few times media players closed (rebooted, logged in, used play/pause key few times , bug triggered in above video), key. time bug ever appears when using specific key on keyboard (fn + `)

edit2: can reproduce on ubuntu 12.10 liveusb, not limited install. downloaded 12.10, put on usb, booted it. used media key. bam, freeze.

edit3: reproducible gnome-shell (stops activities opening), not unity specific.

edit4: talked system76 support. doesn't seem ubuntu issue, rather firmware issue occurs when fn + ~ hit quickly, firmware gets confused , causes lockup. i've changed keybinding in gnome settings avoid issue.
