Media keys doesn't work
Hi,
When I use the Spotify app on Debian 10, sometimes the media keys don't work. I press the play/pause or next or before buttons and it doesn't work.
Can someone help me?

Re: Media keys doesn't work
Is this a Debian package or Snap install?
Did it work before? If so and you're using snap, try a previous version and see if it worked then.

Re: Media keys doesn't work
It is a Debian package. I installed using these commands:Chrisdb wrote:Is this a Debian package or Snap install?
Code: Select all
curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client
The same behavior for the Rhythmbox or other music player.

Re: Media keys doesn't work
Ok, can you post output of the journal from the moment you experienced the issue, f.e. your previous session:pedronovaes wrote: I'm using Gnome
Code: Select all
sudo journalctl -x -b -1

It appears this message: Specifying boot ID or boot offset has no effect, no persistent journal was found.

Re: Media keys doesn't work
I just took a test. I opened spotify and it was working normally, then I opened a tab in chrome with youtube and closed spotify. I opened spotify and then the buttons stopped working with spotify and continued to work with youtube. Then I closed chrome and opened Spotify, so it worked normally.
Any idea what it might be?

Gnome is probably intercepting your media key events
Try this:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install dconf-editor
