Running F23, mate desktop and compiz.
Each time I login the three volume keys on my keyboard cause no action. If I go into the program "/usr/bin/mate-keyboard-properties" either as a CLI or the System->Preferences menu and immediately exit the keys work as expected.
Can anyone suggest a way to activate the volume keys automatically on login?
I use Xfce so this may not apply, but have you saved your session?
I'm not sure about Mate, but IIRC, by default session info isn't saved under Xfce unless you go into "Applications->Settings->Session and Startup" and tick the "Save Session on Logout" box in the "General" tab and either log out or go to the "Session" tab and click the "Save Session" button (which I generally do any time I change stuff here).
Mate has that also. Typically I leave it set to not automatically save. Then when I want to change my starting session I set things up the way I like, turn the setting on and logout. Next login, (i.e. immediately) I turn it off again.
I've saved a session with the keys functioning but it had no effect on them next login, they were off.
