Some problems with keyboard.

Hi I used Q4OS for 1 month, love it so much. And now some issues that I can't search how to fix on the internet.

1. My laptop is HP 8460p. My Fn key only work on:

Fn + F3: suspend

Fn+ F6, F7: I can adjust volume but i want a volume bar appear while pressing the key.

And no more Fn keys work, so i can't adjust the brightness without TDEpowersave .

I can't take screen shot without KSnapshot too. KSnapshot is too bad for me

Keyboard shotcut of Konsole is Ctrl+T, like "Open new tab" on Chrome, cant fint how to change it

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

As far as we know volume bar is not available for Trinity desktop.

... i can't adjust the brightness without TDEpowersave

We will try to check, if there is any possible option and let you know, if so.

I can't take screen shot without KSnapshot too.

Press 'printscreen' key to grab a screenshot to the clipboard, then right click on the desktop and select "Paste Clipboard Contents" and then select a filename to save it to.

Keyboard shortcut of Konsole is Ctrl+T, like "Open new tab" on Chrome, cant fint how to change it

Go to -> Control panel -> Regional and Accessibility -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Command shortcuts tab -> and define your command shortcuts.

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

I have a similar issue, although TDEpowersave  shows in my case that the screen brightness can not be adjusted

Works fine in windows 10 and each *Unbuntu distro (16.4.x 16.10)..

The laptop is a Mi Notebook Air 12"

let me know if I need to generate any logs / reports... I really like this distro and wanted to start using it for my team, as the laptop only comes with Chinese windows license, which is useless to us ..

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

let me know if I need to generate any logs / reports...

Please run the following command in terminal to generate debug files:
$ reportq4
and send it via e-mail support@q4os.org or attach it here to analyze. You can add attachment by 'post reply -> choose file'

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

If you run the command in Konsole/Terminal it shows you where the file has been created.

robin@poppy:~$ reportq4
Report is saved in file: "/home/robin/Documents/qreport.tar.gz"
robin@poppy:~$

If you did it by going Menu>Run>qreport4 it will be in the same place.

Thanks for that

here the file its from a LiveUSB boot as not being able to adjust the screen made it to difficult on the original install

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

Just out of interest, have you tried with the Scorpion Live CD - much later kernel than Orion - closer to 'buntu 16.04 etc?

Re: Some problems with keyboard.

The other place to look with Q4OS will be in ACPI.
In Synaptic make sure you have the following installed:-
acpi
acpi-fakekey
acpi-support   comments show this * On some laptops, set screen brightness.
acpi-support-base
acpid

Follow that with a reboot

I think that installing acpi or acpi-support will pick the others up but that's what you need to wind up with. I have these installed to keep thermal info correct - stops fans overspeeding.
