[14:13] <xubuntu47w> hi anyone know how to get the power manager to work
[16:42] <sim642> I'm using 15.04 on this laptop and for some reason Ctrl+F5 etc are not working. This is the case with multiple different programs and different F-keys. Any ideas?
[16:43] <sim642> F-keys without Ctrl reach programs just fine
[16:43] <holstein> sometimes, i find that can be just a bit tricky to work with..
[16:44] <holstein> i would search more generally "ubuntu" and the model of the hardware.. and, it would be relevant if it works as expected with other linux kernels..
[16:45] <mrkramps> sim642, but the Fn-Key combinations work?
[16:46] <sim642> Yes, if I hold down Fn
[16:46] <holstein> that sounds normal, actually.. for most hardware
[16:46] <holstein> i know, mine is like that, by default
[16:47] <holstein> for example, F11 and f12 on their own, control the screen brightness.. when i use fn F11, i can fullscreen, as is expected..
[16:47] <sim642> ah, they aren't inverted for me
[16:48] <sim642> which is why I expect ctrl-f5 etc to work just fine
[16:48] <sim642> because the brightness etc keys do require me to hold down Fn
[16:49] <cfhowlett> sim642, you might want to confirm your keyboard setu to ensure you have the right arrangement.  also, check fn key defaults in the bios setup
[16:51] <sim642> I just tried in xev
[16:52] <sim642> when I press F5 when holding down Ctrl, they create 3 events: FocusIn, FocusOut, KeymapNotify
[16:52] <sim642> which doesn't seem like right
[16:57] <sim642> oh damn, I just looked through window manager settings
[16:58] <sim642> apparently the new default is to bind ctrl+f-keys to "go to workspace"
[16:58] <sim642> which sounds like a horrible idea, considering how it's not too uncommon for programs to use such key combinations
