Details
Description: as of after the upgrade to Gnome 3.8 (and
concurrently to gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.1-1) the volume
media keys (for me, on my Dell XPS 14z, FN+F7,8,9) don't
work anymore. I use openbox, and leave its
~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh to handle the launching of
gnome-settings-daemon. Similar media keys for the control of
playing (like reverse, forward, and pause) still work
perfectly. In Gnome-Control-Center->Keyboard->Shortcut
I can clearly see the three keys for
Mute,VolumeUP,VolumeDOWN being recognized.
Additional info: Starting gnome-setting-daemon gives me this warnings, even though it seems to launch correctly (and it changes, for example, the default text style to the one I specified for me GTK application, which I take as a sign of it starting regardless of the warnings...): $> /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon (gnome-settings-daemon:6732): power-plugin-WARNING **: failed to turn the panel on: Could not change DPMS mode ** (gnome-settings-daemon:6732): WARNING **: Unable to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files ** (process:6737): WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files Steps to reproduce: upgrade to package version 3.8.1-1. Trying a downgrade via 'pacman -U' and a previously downloaded version of the package (3.6.4-2, for example) doesn't work, I believe due to incompatibility with the newer Gnome environment. Somebody else seems to be experiencing the same issue as well on different hardware: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1262375 |

==============
Version 3.7.92
==============
Media keys:
- Remove obsolete check for XInput2
- Use the shell's D-Bus interface to show OSDs
- Fix warnings on startup trying to call gnome-shell
==============
Version 3.7.91
==============
Media keys:
- Key grabbing is now done in gnome-shell, which fixes problems
with keybindings not working in certain conditions
Can't say I'm pleased, but thanks for clearing that up. I'll look into alternatives to get those media-keys working again without the help of 'gnome-settings-daemon' then.
