F10, F11 ,F12 key now allowed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
I was just doing coding and needed to see the source code of my web-page, as I pressed F12 key, It didn't work and shown me the now allowed sign as given in below image. Then I tried other keys, I found that F10 and F11 is also not working. The keys are not working anywhere in the system.

Are you using a laptop that has additional functions on the F keys (e.g. change volume/brightness, mute, etc.)?

I'm using a desktop, But yes It has a Function key and all the keys are working as it should. Only these Three keys are not working. I tried it with Function key too but did not work.

The F keys have two functions each, one is the shortcuts we know and use, and one is the built in with the manufacturer, in the BIOS there is a setting to which of the 2 is the default, i.e. which one will execute when you press one of the F keys, and the other use is accessed via pressing fn+F?.

Welcome to AskUbuntu. While your answer is basically correct when talking about laptops, it doesn't answer the question because: the OP said they have a desktop PC and I highly doubt that it has such configuration in its firmware (since there is no built-in keyboard). The OP also stated that they tried pressing the keys in conjunction with the Fn key, but it didn't make a difference.

On Desktops the keys are wired as well with or without thefnkeys. I didn't see the OPs comment regarding using thefnkey as well...
