New to Linux, and while I originally had no problems with my keyboard, I’ve lost volume control from the keyboard (Moshi Luna, setup on Generic 104-key PC).
How do I get it back? Thanks.
Which desktop environment? You could try using the ‘xev’ utility (run from a terminal window) to check that the volume keys are active and generating events.
If necessary, you may need to install it first
sudo zypper in xev
Thank you, but I have apparently added too many repositories already and am not yet comfortable with YAST’s opaque usability. And as I said, the keyboard volume controls were working fine previously. I can’t find anything in the GUI setup menus that has any effect, so I was hoping for something easier. Oh well.
The package comes from the OSS repo so is already available to download. The idea is to check whether those keys are generating events.

Sometimes diagnostic steps have to be explored to understand and progress a problem. Learning and effort may be required to do so. Good luck.

Ok, one of your services is obviously causing grief, but this not related to installing xev though. I note that you have another thread discussing your defined repos

I would follow up there with this problem. Almost certainly the offending one will need to be disabled/removed.
Please see that thread for further information.
