How do i do this for my laptop, it is a samsung NP270E5E-K04UK and the
keys i am having problems with are the volume keys meaning Fn+F6 = Mute
Fn+F7 = Volume down Fn+F8 = Volume up.

Title:
  [keymap] Lenovo Z370 multimedia keys do not work because force-release
  in hwdb.d is missing

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Affects Ubuntu 13.10, udev 204-0ubuntu19:

  The Lenovo Z370 notebook has capacitive keys for volume up, volume down and mute. Touching these buttons does not generate a key release event and blocks any further key presses.
  I solved this issue by applying the attached patch to /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
  After updating the hwdb and rebooting everything works fine.
