Hardware Information

After updating Tumbleweed 01/02/2018 to 20/02/2018, just the Fn keys in my laptop's keyboard that controls display brightness stopped working. I still can change display brightness through "Battery and Brightness" tray icon in my panel (although there are some minor graphical glitches as I move the ball on the bar).


The same thing happened when I upgraded to latest KDE/Qt on my OpenSUSE Leap 42.3.


Under these conditions, the bug is always reproducible.


Since this tumbleweed update upgraded plasma 5.11 to plasma 5.12, could it be related to KDE/Qt?

Possible related problem, although not tested:

Then it would not be related to KDE/Qt though... ;-)

I assume this is https://bugs.kde.org/389991 though, a problem with migrating the powermanagement keyboard shortcuts.

It should be fixed in Plasma 5.12.2, that has been released yesterday (not in the repos yet though).

PS: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389991#c22 explains how to fix it yourself.
You could try that and see if the keys work again afterwards.

Thanks!

Actually there already is a bug report about this problem, so I'll mark this as duplicate.

Feel free to reopen if your problem is not fixed with Plasma 5.12.2 (as it likely is a different problem then).
