[Bug 1241745] Re: 10de:0dfa [HP EliteBook 8560w] Changing the screen brightness does not work anymore in 319.xx
Hello, I'm running Mint 17.1 Rebecca (based on Ubuntu 14.04), and experiencing the same brightness problem. I think I have a workaround; not very "elegant" but does the job. Install the brightness applet (I'm using the one available in MATE). When you use it to change the brightness, surprise, it doesn't work. However, if I close the laptop's lid, let it sleep, then open the lid again, the brightness seems to get adjusted to the last brightness settings I set before closing the lid. I know, not very elegant, but seems to do the job. BTW, my laptop is a Lenovo W520. Using "discrete graphics" option in BIOS.

[Bug 953875] Re: Encrypted swap no longer mounted at bootup
Some important points to add to my previous post: 1) This worked for me. However there is NO GUARANTEE that it will work for you, hence, point 2) 2) If you don't have a fresh installation, BACK UP YOUR DATA before any attempt at playing with your partitions. I have a couple of "scars" that show I'm damn right :-) 3) Be particularly careful when you edit /etc/crypttab . Change ONLY the cryptswap1 line. Leave the line starting sd[XY]_crypt alone Good luck! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953875 Title: Encrypted swap no longer mounted at bootup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/953875/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 953875] Re: Encrypted swap no longer mounted at bootup
I was in a situation similar to akwala's, post #13 (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1367/how-to-test-swap- partition). In my case I use Mint 17 Rebecca (based on Trusty). In this case, both "encrypt home" and "encrypt the full partition" have been selected during installation. I believe that the need for an encrypted swap in this case is not that important if the system is to be used by a single user: the swap partition (in akwala's case, /dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-swap_1) resides in an encrypted disk anyway. Of course, one could choose to reinstall and select only "encrypt the full partition" and not "encrypt home". In my particular case, I am interested in also encrypting home because I use rsync to back up my (encrypted) home dir (i.e., /home/.ecryptfs/my_username/.Private) to an untrusted machine. So, my fix consists in configuring my fresh Mint 17 installation to use /dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1 (which is encrypted) as a non-encrypted swap partition: * Format the swap partition: sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1 (for ubuntu, replace mint--vg-swap_1 by ubuntu--vg-swap_1, for other releases, run "sudo fdisk -l" and adapt the name accordingly) * Edit /etc/fstab: - comment out the line starting with: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 - if not there, add a line for mounting mint--vg-swap_1 as a regular swap partition: /dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 (if needed, replace mint--vg-swap_1 as described above) * Edit /etc/crypttab and comment out the line starting with: cryptswap1 * Reboot * After reboot verify that the swap was mounted: $ swapon -s FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority /dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1 partition 4075516 0 -1 $ free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem: 400015612665202733636 15452 25604 524712 -/+ buffers/cache: 7162043283952 Swap: 4075516 04075516 $ sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1 (no errors) $ sudo swapon -a (no errors) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953875 Title: Encrypted swap no longer mounted at bootup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/953875/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 776999] Re: [Lenovo W520] laptop freezes on ACPI-related actions
Hi, Lenovo W520. Mint 13 (Maya) 64bit with MATE. Boot freezes with Discrete Graphics selected on BIOS. I am also annoyed by this bug, since I need to attach an external monitor on a daily basis. Best workaround I found: booting W7 (booo!), then using Virtual Box to run Mint off its partition (raw vmdk). Virtual machine configured with two virtual screens. I know, it's a hack, but it does the job, and performance-wise doesn't look that terrible. I can work this way. Waiting for this bug to be fixed to move back to native Linux :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776999 Title: [Lenovo W520] laptop freezes on ACPI-related actions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/776999/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
