[Bug 408903] Re: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE)

[whelderwheels613]

Edit:

As I have just discovered, the acpi scripts do not appear to be working
in 12.10 x64 on a lenovo t430. Using both the method described in the
link I posted and Chris Van Hoof's, I can't get the acpi events system
to execute the micmute.sh script. I followed both guides _exactly_. I
can manually invoke the script, but that defeats the purpose of having
the button. This is a simple script I created as a workaround for this
issue:

#!/bin/bash
while true
do 
event="`acpi_listen -c 1`"
if [[ $event == "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b" ]]
then
bash /etc/acpi/micmute.sh
fi
done

To use it, set it to be executable and add the path to the script in
/etc/rc.local

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.04

  Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything.  It
  should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led
  that is part of the button.

  acpi_listen output:

  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b

  
  xev output:
