[Bug 189814] Re: HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password
probably on older kernel Hal does not report brightness setting capability to gnome-power-manager, so the bug is just not triggered. You also loose that functionality if you note. -- HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189814] Re: HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password
It's on my Latitude D620. I can confirm that. Also as I said, i tried downgrading to kernel 2.6.22 in Hardy from the Feisty repos and it doesn't happen with the BIOS password set. So I think it's related somehow to the kernel version too. Hope this helps. -- HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189814] Re: HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password
I asked a friend to test on an inspiron and he did not have problems. I don't have access to any more dell machines, maybe it's latitude only. Seems kind of strange in fact to need the bios password to change brightness, at least it's not done on every line. -- HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 189814] Re: HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password
I used the command that you posted. So it is sounding like only the D-Series latitudes are affected then? Andrea Ratto wrote: > latitude d630 here.

Can we try to get a concise list of affected platforms? This isn't on all series of Dell laptops. I just tested with an XPS1330 (Intel graphics) and wasn't able to reproduce any hangups when I turned on a BIOS password. -- HAL lockups or crashes dell laptops with a BIOS password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
