Few days back I got a sexy Dell XPS M1330, the first thing that I did was installed Ubuntu. Although the installation was smooth and everything was working out of the box except the nVidia graphics card, which I fixed after a little bit of googling. The default media player in ubuntu is not that cool, so I quickly installed Amarok. Amarok is cool, but the only problem was that the media keys were not working with amarok. But were working with the default media player.

After a lot of searching I stumbled upon an amarok script Gnome Multimedia Keys.

After downloading the script, open amarok click Tools–>Script Manager. Click on Install Script choose the downloaded script. Then locate Gnome Multimedia Key’s in the scripts and then click on Run to start the pluggin.

Thats it now the media keys should be working just fine. Easy isn’t it?. I hope this helps to all the proud M1330 owners.
