That's right, it makes no difference whether I have the drive loaded or
not.  Not that that matters.  You want it to open regardless.

[Bug 451282] Re: display is fully dimmed after resume from suspend

2010-05-11 Thread pauls
Gabe, is it possible to find out the source code that sets the values
for brightness and actual_brightness and get them to agree after boot
up?

It certainly would be better to try to fix it at the upstream source.

My limited knowledge of /sys/ directory is that it's mostly created by
kernel drivers .. is there a way to get one of the kernel coders to just
look at this bug and see if it could be in the kernel code?  If so, then
I'm sure linus would appreciate getting a bug filed.

If you decide to add a fix to /etc/rc.local (or some other script), one
problem is that each different graphic card / driver seems to create the
/sys/../brightness and /sys/../actual_brightness in different locations.
To meet this issue, any script would have to search /sys/ first and then
test and assign the appropriate values.

Keep in mind that doing this on boot wastes a bit of boot time
(milliseconds), but that contradicts one of the goals of ubuntu to cut
current boot times in half.

regards,

Patrick,

1) install the fglrx driver you desire
2) open terminal and enter:

$ find /sys/ -iname '*bright*'

3) post back the results and we'll help you with the rc.local script.

2010-05-03 Thread pauls
Still not working here.  Now that I know it's gnome-settings-daemon, I
did aptitude reinstall gnome-settings-daemon and still no success.

I opened the menu  system  preferences  keyboard shortcuts and can
see the eject listed under the sound section.  I tried disabling and re-
enabling it, but stil only get the o-s-d eject icon and no tray opening.
I tried adding a new shortcut with the command eject and assigned the
fn-f10 (xf86eject) to it.  The daemon worked and disabled the fn-f10
from the sound : eject section.  With this, my tray opens, but the o-s-d
icon is missing.  So, I reassigned it back to the sound : eject section
and now I get the icon but no tray operation.

I killed and restarted gnome-settings-daemon in a terminal.  I notice
the following relevant lines:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:8026): DEBUG: Starting keyboard manager
[1272886573,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/]The backend does not

I'm not sure what the Not a valid shortcut:'' is referring to.

Any other ideas?

I notice the changelog shows some upstream changes in how the eject
action is executed.  I suppose this is a regression due to that work.

Specifically, on 30 March 2010, this:
- Replace eject spawn with GIO code (Bastien Nocera) (#580779)

and on 17 Jan 2010, this:
- Make eject behave better on OpenBSD (Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse) 
  (#598573)

[Bug 451282] Re: display is fully dimmed after resume from suspend

2010-05-02 Thread pauls
Marten, you might want to try something like this in your /etc/rc.local:

brt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness`
abrt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/actual_brightness`
logger -t rc.local brightness was $brt , actual_brightness was $abrt
if [ $brt != $abrt ] ; then
echo $abrt  /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness
afterbrt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness`
logger -t rc.local changed brightness to $afterbrt and actual_brightness is 
$abrt
else
afterbrt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness`
logger -t rc.local no brightness change needed, brightness is $afterbrt and 
actual is $abrt
fi

This should give you a log entry in /var/log/messages that will show
some helpful information when /etc/rc.local executes.  So, after
booting, check the log with:

$ grep bright /var/log/messages

and see what happened during boot.

It seems like you could have a different problem since your /sys/ entry
is different than ours.  Take a look in /proc/ to see if you have any
more places where brightness is set or shown:

find /proc/ -iname '*bright*'

Thanks Harm.  I forgot that != is for strings and strings require
quotes.  I guess I should have used -ne instead and it probably would
have worked.  My script failed to set brightness to 7 on a subsequent
boot and I had the dim display upon resume again.  But, after changing
it, it seems to always work now.

[Bug 451282] Re: display is fully dimmed after resume from suspend

2010-04-28 Thread pauls
I wonder if there was a change in how acpi records / sets brightness and
gnome-power-manager was not updated to realize it.

I notice 2 different kernel locations on my system for brightness.

One is /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and has the
value of 0 on boot up.  This seems strange because the lcd is at maximum
brightness.

The other is
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness and has the
value of 7 on boot up.  On my system, 7 is the maximum.

I suspect on suspend | hibernate that gnome-power-manager is saving
brightness rather than actual_brightness and restoring that upon
resume.

So, I added this little script to /etc/rc.local to set them the same.

brt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness`
abrt=`cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness`
if (( $brt != $abrt )) ; then
echo $abrt  /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
fi

Now, on my first suspend the bug does not occur.

I'm not sure if this will be the same for everyone.  To find out your
own brightness, just search /sys/ with this command:

paul :~$ find /sys/ -iname '*bright*'
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:03:01.1/leds/mmc0::/brightness
/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1e.0/:03:01.1/leds/mmc0::/max_brightness
/sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled

If your locations are different, then change /etc/rc.local to the
different values for yours.

FWIW, I think these gnome bugs illustrate the problem with accessiblity
features in gnome.  It appears that decisions were made years ago to
avoid fixing these problems and complying with the accessX feature set.
And my current bug probably is related to the years' old issue in gnome.
At least that's my guess from reading these old bug reports:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95656

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131406

Specifically take note of this comment from 10/30/2003 in 95656:

  XKB allows this, but it's
not clear to me that this behavior is important to users.  We _do_
know that the second behavior (latch-to-lock OFF) would cause problems
with window navigation in GNOME, so if we do allow the user to switch
between behaviors #1 and #2, we will have to deal with the difficult
problem of fixing the resulting metacity 'regression'.

It seems like gnome has always had the idea that it's too difficult to
fix and will cause regressions.

2009-01-04 Thread pauls
If you try sticky keys you will never want to go back.  Sticky keys are
part of the X accessibility package.  When enabled, it causes the
Control, Alt, Win, and Shift (any modifier) keys to stay engaged until
the next key is pressed.  For example, if you want to hit the key
combination Alt-f to open the file menu, without sticky keys, you must
press the Alt and f keys at the same time.  For most of us, hitting 2
keys at the same time takes 2 hands.  With sticky keys, you can hit the
Alt, release it and then hit the f key.  It will be interpreted as
though they were hit at the same time.

This is an extremely helpful feature whenever you're using a cramped
keyboard, as most laptops have today.  Also, anyone who doesn't want to
use a mouse enjoys this feature, because it's easier to use keyboard
(combination) shortcuts to get around the desktop.

Try it and I think you'll become a user.  Unfortunately, if you use
gnome, you'll get a buggy implementation (search and you will find other
bugs about gnome and sticky keys).  But, kde-3.5.x has it implemented
perfectly (even better than M$)!
