I already read #25 4 or more times and it did not provide sufficient details to tell me what to do in conjunction with your other direction. So I provided the details of what I did and asked my questions when you balked.... Your reply doesn't help when it doesn't even answer these follow up questions. I went to the place where you pointed and bisected all the versions between the latest and the one I started with. I found the one that started the failure. I dug into the index for that version and pulled out the "commit" as you asked and all you reply with is to point me to the same #25 I have already read a bunch.
Do you or do you not want the commit string I got from the version that failed out of the index file that plainly stated: These binary packages represent builds of the mainline or stable Linux kernel tree at the commit below: v4.5-rc1 (92e963f50fc74041b5e9e744c330dca48e04f08d) You initially stated "the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.19 to 4.4 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one". I understand "bisecting" of lists to locate one of interest and have been doing this for over 40 years. However, "fully commit bisect" is vague and you don't explain what you want. The reference to "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection"; I read too. But that too is confusing. Since you sent me to "http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D" I used THIS to get the kernels to bisect. You have not said one way or the other whether you sent me to the wrong place to get this stuff to bisect. Reading "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection"; and using "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D"; I followed your instructions. I did not find any fields or boxes on this web page to put something referred to as a "fully commit" or even "commit". If this is not what you want then you have to at least answer my questions and point me to a different file tree other than "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D"; to find whatever else I am to find and how to report to you what that is that correlates to what I tested. I cannot get src and build kernels with my current setup. So I have to rely on the fully built .deb packages. I did this and isolated what worked and what didn't from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D". I reported the "commit" data from this. How about a more specific description of what you want that is different from what I produced and how I'm to report it differently from how I have already reported? -- 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/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using kernel 3.19.0-66-generic the keyboard backlight and screen-top illuminator work. However, after upgrading to kernel 4.4 the keyboard backlight and screen-top illuminator come on without hitting the special keys.
