[Bug 395358] Re: thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once
Could someone please give us an update to this problem. Is this still occurring with the system fully upgraded? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Karmic) Assignee: Canonical Kernel Team (canonical-kernel-team) = Stefan Bader (stefan-bader-canonical) -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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

Yes, this still happens with the current kernel. The kernel is intercepting Fn+F5 and toggling the power to the wireless antenna. This shouldn't happen, the event should be handled entirely in userspace. (Confirmed that it's the kernel by stopping all of: acpid gnome-power- manager gnome-settings-daemon devkit-power-daemon) -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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

Khashayar, yes, it does seem that this is a cross-platform bug from your description. -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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 395358] Re: thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once
Steve, sorry for not providing more details. Since I was seeing the exact same symptoms on my machine, I simply assumed I had the same bug. Particularly since the kernel part supposedly causing the issue is the platform independent rfkill module (as per LP #397698). I'll try to give some more details here, and if you still think I have a different bug, let me know and I'll just go away. In jaunty, the state of my bluetooth and wlan device, were controlled by means of /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth, and /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rfkill/*/state, respectively. In Karmic, they're both controlled by means of /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill*/state. Now, in Jaunty pressing Fn+F2 (which corresponds to Fn+F5 on the thinkpad) cycles the different possible states of bt+wlan. In Karmic, however, bt+wlan are turned off simultaneously. What's peculiar is that when FN+F2 toggles the radio devices to off, the /sys/class/rfkill/rfkillX that corresponds to the bluetooth device is removed (leaving me with just one rfkill device), and when it's toggled back on, the bluetooth-rfkill device comes back but, but this time named rfkillX+1 (that is rfkill1, becomes rfkill2, next time around rfkill3, etc.) All this is being done with acpi-support stopped, which means (if I'm not misunderstanding anything here), that none of the platform specific scripts in /etc/acpi/* are run. Likewise, I can't change the value of /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill*/state manually. Shouldn't hal be in charge of hotkeys nowadays, instead of acpi-support? If I don't misremember this, hal doesn't know how to cycle states, but rather changes the state of bt+wlan the way described here. -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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

Gah! I just wrote a long explanation for why I believe I'm experiencing the same bug, but the browser crashed. So this is just a condensed version of that. 1) The problem seems to be related to rfkill, which is platform independent. 2) stopping acpi-support and acpid, I still have the same problem (i.e. the hotkey behaves the same as if they were running, which makes me think none of the platform specific scripts from /etc/acpi/* are run). 3) I can't change the values of /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill*/state manually. Isn't hal responsible for hotkey handling nowadays? If I don't misremember, hal can't handle cycling of bt+wlan, but rather behaves just as explained here, turning bt+wlan either on or off simultaneously. If you still think I'm having a different bug, let me know, and I'll go away. -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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

I don't think this is specific to thinkpads. I am experiencing the same thing on my Asus N20A.

[Bug 395358] Re: thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu. In testing here, I find that shutting off acpid *completely* gives the same behavior. So this is not a flaw in acpi-support alone, because acpi-support isn't handling this event. Combined with bug #397698, this looks very much like a kernel issue. ** Package changed: acpi-support (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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 395358] Re: thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once
elaborating a bit: - the hotkey is still exposed to userspace, both via the thinkpad input device and as an acpi event. However, even shutting down gnome-settings-daemon and acpi-support, the hotkey still has the described effect - so something appears to be handling this in the kernel. - as mentioned in bug #397698, I can't find a way to change the rfkill setting from userspace /anyway/. -- thinkpad fn+f5 regression now toggles wifi and bluetooth at once https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395358 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
