Title: What program causes a prohibited symbol to appear when pressing the media keys
Post by: kalpana on Oct 17, 2023, 05:10 AM
What program causes a prohibited symbol to appear when pressing the media keys and how to disable it?

I am using Kodi in Ubuntu 20.04. What program causes a message like in the screenshot when pressing the media keys and how to disable it? I want to disable it because it intercepts the play/pause key and the key doesn't work in Kodi. And this prohibited symbol appears, but if you set kodi as the default session the key works.
Because the icon it appears when a key is pressed, the system registers the press. This appeared after the latest updates. Previously, the keys were configured only inside Kodi, since it does not react to system settings there, they were removed through the "settings>key combinations" menu item. They are still disabled there, but the volume keys now adjust the system volume, not the Kodi volume (the corresponding icon appears instead of the error icon). Re-assignment fails, attempting to assign causes this icon to be called, but the assignment fails.
