As far as I know no one is paying attention to e2fsprogs on Ubuntu except for me, and there are a lot of users asking for help with very basic problems on their launchpad site. Very often the bugs end up in other Ubuntu packages (for example, people complaining that fsck isn't deferring boot-time checks when running on battery, which turns out to be because the kernel is building the acpi ac_adaptor driver as a module, and it isn't getting loaded at boot time; I transferred the bug over to the kernel folks and/or the initscripts over 12-18 months ago, and no one is paying attention), or a number of very clearly hardware or kernel problems that no one from any other distribution is complaining about. I'm getting really fed up, and will probably stop providing free customer support for them, and am seriously thinking about switching to another distribution on my personal laptop. I just haven't figured out which I'm going to switch to - Ted - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Oh sweet! Thanks for the response..this explains a lot. I have opened a launchpad bug .. I think some changes are needed Thanks Henrique... here is a link to the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/194679 On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 1:50 PM, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 22 Feb 2008, Jerone Young wrote: > > Changing this to: > > options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xff experimental=1 > > > > fixes the issue.

Hopefully it will The correct way to load thinkpad-acpi by default is "thinkpad_acpi experimental=1" (if you want experimental features). Hotkeys are enabled by default, and with a proper default mask in any non-ancient thinkpad-acpi version. Messing with that by default is *not* nice. In fact, mask 0xff is bad for just about *every* thinkpad, in all current userspace configs.

Re: [ibm-acpi-devel] FN+F5 .. Lenovo has broken the acpi event in latest Thinkpad T61 bios
Yeap the problem was with the hotkey mask . The issue here is in the acpi-support package in ubuntu. When loading thinkpad-acpi they use the options, from file /etc/modprob.d/thinkpad-acpi.modprobe: options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0x8f experimental=1 Changing this to: options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xff experimental=1 fixes the issue. I will file a bug with the patch. Hopefully it will get in. I have other patches for bugs in acpi-support in Ubuntu and it appears nobody is paying them any attention. Here is to hopping some one will get this fix in there too.

I just tried Fedora Core 8 and it works under it. Always file a bug on Ubuntu if it ever causes problem with thinkpad-acpi. Otherwise, they keep giving *me* trouble over it telling me "everything is fine", when it, in fact, isn't. If we find out that there is a bug in thinkpad-acpi, that's not a problem. I will happily acknowledge it, and fix it. But we need to make sure Ubuntu does know everything is not roses with their setup. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Re: [ibm-acpi-devel] FN+F5 .. Lenovo has broken the acpi event in latest Thinkpad T61 bios
My bad. This appears to be a problem with Ubuntu only. Which probably means they are setting the mask for thinkpad-acpi in someway that is interfering. I just tried Fedora Core 8 and it works under it. I'll have to figure out what is going in Ubuntu that is causing this. Thanks guys.

Send me the dmidecode and acpidump, please. Also, check if it is not sending KEY_RADIO over the input device for the *keyboard*, and send me the thinkpad-acpi debug output when the driver loads, so that I can verify the hotkey is not getting disabled for some weird reason. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Re: [ibm-acpi-devel] FN+F5 .. Lenovo has broken the acpi event in latest Thinkpad T61 bios
Whoops didn't see the top of your email. This is very odd, how could I not be seeing the ACPI event .. I have tried it with two seprate kernels and distros .. but it used to work .. very odd let me try resetting my bios or something.

Re: [ibm-acpi-devel] FN+F5 .. Lenovo has broken the acpi event in latest Thinkpad T61 bios
Are you using the same bios version. I am also trying this with bios 2.10 on two diffrent T61 and when I run acpi_listen I don't see anything with FN+F5 anymore .. which older bios version less then 2.09 it worked as you are reporting.
