Hi all.
So I have Samsung series 3 Laptop (NP350V5C) and it seems that keyboard Volume control buttons does not work at all on ubuntu 13.04 / 13.10 / 14.04.
When I press Fn+VolumeUp or Fn+VolumeDown - volume goes to maximum or minimum, but I cant regulate it.
Workaround:
You need to edit file
Code:
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
Find line in SAMSUNG section:
Code:
# Series 3
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svn[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*:pn*300E[457]*:pvr*
...
Add these lines just before # Series 3:
Code:
# Workaround for samsung 350V
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svn[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*:pn*350V*:pvr*
KEYBOARD_KEY_ce=!calc # Fn+F1 launch control setting / Run calculator
KEYBOARD_KEY_d5=!wlan # Fn+F12 WiFi On/Off
KEYBOARD_KEY_89=!brightnessdown # Fn+F2
KEYBOARD_KEY_88=!brightnessup # Fn+F3
KEYBOARD_KEY_82=!switchvideomode #Fn+F4
KEYBOARD_KEY_f7=!f22 # Unknown (mouse trackpad / PrtSc / ...)
KEYBOARD_KEY_f9=!f23 # Unknown (mouse trackpad / PrtSc / ...)
KEYBOARD_KEY_a0=!mute # Fn+F6
KEYBOARD_KEY_ae=!volumedown # Fn+F7
KEYBOARD_KEY_b0=!volumeup # Fn+F8
KEYBOARD_KEY_b3=!prog3 # Unknown (mouse trackpad / PrtSc / ...)
# Series 3
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svn[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*:pn*300E[457]*:pvr*
...
Save the file and run this command from terminal as root:
Code:
# dpkg-reconfigure udev
Restart computer.
This workaround will work until next 60-keyboard.hwdb update.
You're welcome!
