Hi,
to get my laptop media keys working under i3 I added the following to my ~/.i3/config:
exec --no-startup-id gnome-settings-daemon
After updating to Ubuntu 13.10 the media keys no longer work under i3 (they still work in Gnome/Unity). How can I get them back working with i3?
Regards
I solved it by myself. The problem is that media key handling was moved from gnome-settings-daemon to gnome-shell. However this feature was added back to gnome-settings-daemon in the Ubuntu Trusty Repository which can be installed via PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ezyang/+archive/ppa):
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ezyang/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Best Regards

Is it customary to startup the gnome-settings-daemon (or some other settings daemon) like this to take care of many "small" problems like media keys, audio etc?
