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.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 204-5ubuntu6

---------------
systemd (204-5ubuntu6) trusty; urgency=low

  * Add pam-check-runtime-dir-user.patch: Don't set an existing
    $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in the PAM module if it isn't owned by the session user.
    Otherwise su sessions get a runtime dir from a different user which leads
    to either permission errors or scribbling over the other user's files.

  * Update debian/extra/60-keyboard.hwdb from current upstream trunk:
    - Fix Lenovo Z370 (LP: #1245189)
