I have a HP/Compaq SDM4700P PS/2 keyboard, quite a prevalent model (I even have two myself). The keyboard has a set of 8 ”internet” keys on the top, one of which has a ”home” icon (so it’s supposed to be XF86HomePage I believe).

After installing linux-generic-lts-trusty (3.13.0-27.23 from -proposed), pressing the ”home” key triggers the computer going to sleep (powering down, power led starts blinking).

This did not happen with kernels prior to 3.13.

I installed and booted 3.13.0-24.47 (also available in the repositories now) and the issue was still reproducible.

To be sure, I also tried 3.11.0-22.38 and 3.8.0-41.60 again, and it was *not* reproducible.

(I wouldn’t have much use for the ”home” key as such, but as the keyboard lacks audio controls, I’ve remapped the ”home” key to be my XFAudioMute with ~/.Xmodmap. This was working fine until 3.13; now it still does mute the audio just before putting the computer to sleep. As I don’t use sleep mode otherwise, I’ve worked around this by adding an `exit` at the top of /etc/acpi/sleep.sh.)

With this workaround in place, desktop wallpaper (on the working display) cannot be set using the ’Appearance’ configuration tool, and with automatic login the ’login screen as background’ effect (the image attached to #1) is there too. This could be Bug #1159430, and as mentioned there, I can work around it using Compiz’ Wallpaper plugin (i.e. setting a wallpaper in Compiz sets it on the external display).

Looks like Bug #1221954 is a duplicate wrt. the ’80s and the ’90s. Upstream report (which I’ve linked to this one) says those genres have been removed, so that leaves only Rock ’n’ Roll from my report to check for in latest upstream. (And of course, those upstream fixes haven’t yet made it into Ubuntu, so these LP reports are still valid.)

Look for ’Radio’ on the left, in the ’Library’ panel. Selecting it you get the Genre list as the next panel to the right; there you should see the radio station genres listed.

I’ve attached logs from Trusty (which is affected), the bug is still present in 12.04 too.

Also affects 12.04 (with gedit 3.4.1-0ubuntu1).

When the selected/renamed file is a directory: see Bug #1105232.

Had just opened Gedit, and the file chooser dialog from there. Had successfully selected one directory in the dialog, and the crash occurred when I clicked (I think) on the file name listing column. Couldn’t reproduce it again.

The system in question is currently out of use (and reproducing the bug isn’t straightforward), so I’ll let this one expire.

I have Trusty and Precise installations affected by this. For me just one refresh usually is enough to fix it though. Also, sometimes the blackening doesn’t happen straight away but only once I start scrolling the page down to the comments section.
