Ubuntu – How to disable global -p shortcut

gnomegnome-settings-daemonmedia-buttonsshortcut-keysxrandr

In ubuntu 11.04 there was a workaround using gconf-editor and setting key
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active to false.

However there is no such key in gconf-manager using ubuntu 11.10 (gnome 3).

Best Answer

The new version of gnome-settings-daemon stores its configuration information in dconf rather than gconf.

To do the equivalent of what you were doing on 11.04, try the following:

  1. Install the dconf-tools package, and then run dconf-editor.
  2. In the tree on the left, navigate org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> xrandr.
  3. Uncheck the active checkbox.
