I upgraded Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 and ALL my Keyboard shortcuts are broken.
I mean shortcuts like ctrl+alt+t, fn+any arrows.
I checked keyboard settings and all is turned on.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Am using notebook y50-70.
Your gnome-settings-daemon
isn't starting on boot, for some reason. The workaround to that is to add gnome-settings-daemon
to Startup Applications or add it as a .desktop
entry, into /home/yourusername/.config/autostart/
directory. The .desktop
entry could be named gnome-settings-daemon.desktop
and look something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=gnome-settings-daemon
Hidden=false
Name=gnome-setting-daemon
This is my guess on why that daemon isn't starting: Ubuntu 15.04 , from what I've heard, has switched for different system for starting processes at boot - there used to be upstart
and 14.04 (which is what I use) has that. Meanwhile 15.04 uses systemd
. My guess is that this transition has broke some things, but hopefully by the time we get to next LTS release, everything will be fixed

Just do this via terminal, is a bug.
sudo apt-get remove appmenu-qt5
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove appmenu-qt5
then log out and probe... this works for latex
In my case the gnome-settings-daemon process was hang:
0 D alex 3798 3587 0 80 0 - 472136 rpc_wa Apr18 tty2 00:00:17 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
I just killed it and it reloads automatically. After that everything is working properly.
I made a clean install to Lubuntu 18.04 I found myself with the same issue, hotkeys were not working. After reading openbox-lxde help web pages I noticed that the required software packages were missing. When installing the OS I recalled having selected a minimal install; I thought that would account for the missing packages. The working solution I applied was to issue the following commands:
sudo apt install openbox-lxde-session
sudo openbox-lxde --reconfigure
Go to your home directory.
$cd ~
$ls -a
You can see .gconf
directory.
If you remove this directory you will come back to your default desktop settings.
rm -rf .gconf/
Restart
It is an easier way of resetting back to your default desktop configuration. I hope this works for you.
