whoops, my apologies... for a moment i thought this was the gentoo board :P
Forget everything above ( i had a mistake anyways ), and do this as root instead. It shouldn't matter if you're in or our of X, but if you know how to boot outside of X, it will be less aggravating for you: (Also, if you're doing this within gnome/kde, i suggest you save and close any of your work, b/c these symptoms for the volume buttons may cause problems for your keyboard/mouse input during this session) # su -c "showkey -s > mykeylog.txt" (press volume -down- a few times, and then volume -up- a few times -- wait for 10 seconds and showkey will exit automatically, b/c "ctrl-c" is disabled during its' execution) (after it exits, and if you're in X (GUI) at the moment, your keyboard/mouse MAY be locked up from auto-repeat on the volume, as described in the symptoms -- not to worry, ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X. You can then proceed.) # dmidecode > dmi_log.txt That one is a piece of cake. I need you to upload both logs, so that it is confirmed, and so I can adapt the patch. Thanks for your help - I guess I wasn't the only one feeling lonely with my volume buttons =D -- Compaq/HP Presario R4100 volume keys stick - kernel quirk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385477 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
