Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

against the actively developed kernel. Thank you for your continued
support and help as we
Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you
could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue -

your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Like I wrote before, I cannot personally test this, because the hardware
is too old to run any recent release of Ubuntu. Anybody else with a
Toshiba APM BIOS should be able to try to repro this, though. Is there
a tag I could assign to this bug to indicate that testing help from
someone with
To reiterate, I no longer have a Toshiba which uses APM, so I cannot
easily assess the effects of this bug any longer. The permissions have
not changed but the applications which use this API may have come up
with a different workaround. I presently have no way to test that.

Can you clarify the following:
This issue is the same for every release upto including Gutsy?
You solve this by changing /dev/toshiba from:[660 root:root] to [660
root:admin]?
I found one link which suggested Debian runs this as [666 root:root] -
although not suggesting you run like this as
I still have the hardware where this happened but it cannot really run
any recent version of Ubuntu. However, I believe the repro steps should
be trivial (try to use the device as a non-root user) and the fix, one
way or another, straightforward. If there are newer Toshiba machines

Also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16975 looks like
coincidental confirmation that others too have bumped into this, but
that's a pretty old thread (2005).

This appears to be a problem in the kernel or a related package, since
it manifests even on a system which doesn't have toshutils installed.
Feel free to reject against toshutils and reassign ... most likely in
accordance with this:
vnix$ dpkg -S
On second thought, maybe the permissions should remain, and wmtuxtime et
al. changed to cope accordingly instead (and then the bug assigned back
to toshutils)? Any opinions?

The workaround turned out to be a textbook example of the modprobe
install directive. Including here just in case I need to remember what
I did ...
The solution hinges on the assumption that a particular group (in this
case, admin) corresponds to the users who are granted privilege to run

actually, /dev/toshiba is (of course) recreated each time you load the
