    I figured it out myself! I simply need to use the fnkey, in combination with F1, F2, F3keys ..

    Reason: Fkeys (Function-keys) are primarily assigned on a Mac for Volume, Brightness, Keyboard-Illumination etc.., therefore "fn" enables the secondary assigned functions of those keys in Ubuntu.

    Thank you for asking though GalmWing!
