Tomek, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a13 needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: raring ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015496 Title: Disable-touchpad key does not work on Dell Vostro V3450 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, The problem is that the 'disable touchpad' function key does not work in Ubuntu for Dell Vostro V3450 (please note the V before the number - as far as I know, the Vostro without V before the number is another model from Dell). I've noticed this already in the previous Ubuntu release (11.10) but thought it'll be fixed by now. After upgrade to 12.04 nothing has changed. I've, of course, searched for similar bugs on launchpad, but I believe they are not the same issues as mine. The problem is similar to bug #753641, but that one has been marked as a duplicate of already resolved bug #550625 and my issue is not resolved. Also bug #760142 is similar, but I don't think my touchpad uses the ALPS driver. On my V3450 the 'disable touchpad' key is Fn+F3 combination. Pressing the combination doesn't disable the touchpad in Ubuntu. It also doesn't display any pop-up on the screen (as photonic wrote in a comment to bug #753641, in his case "a notification pops up displaying graphic of a crossed-out touchpad" - it doesn't happen on my system). However, I'm sure that the laptop's hardware does inform the system when the combination has been pressed - in my laptop I have an orange led placed between the touchpad and the keyboard. When I press Fn+F3 the LED turns on, suggesting that the touchpad is disabled. When I press Fn+F3 again, the LED is being turned off. Another hint - after I bought the laptop I've installed Debian wheezy/testing on it and there the Fn+F3 combination worked as expected.
