rich painter, in order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following: 1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder). 2) The release names are irrelevant. 3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream. 4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .
If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so. It is most helpful that after testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed. Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available. Thank you for your help. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.67 regression-release ** Description changed: - System: Lenovo Thinkpad T530 laptop - OS: ubuntu 14.04 LTS, kernel 3.19.0-66-generic 64bit - lsb_release -rd - Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS - Release: 14.04 + Using kernel 3.19.0-66-generic the keyboard backlight and screen-top + illuminator work. - With the above configuration the keyboard backlights and screen-top - illuminator work as they are supposed to. + However, after upgrading to kernel 4.4 the keyboard backlight and + screen-top illuminator come on without hitting the special keys.

Image taken today is attached. - I installed the ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL which installed (I think) some 4.4 kernel. - - After installing, the keyboard backlights and screen-top illuminator - come on without hitting the special keys. When it returns from screen - saver when I hit the return key these lights come on also. - - If I reboot to the old kernel all is well. So something is broken in the - kernel that is installed with the 1404_HWE_EOL - - So I deleted this new kernel for now. - - The popup comes up constantly for almost 4 months now, many many times - per day. This is a huge annoyance. - - More seriously is that no other updates are coming in. This poses - security issues at a minimum. - - Accepting the update causes the backlights and screen-top illuminator to - go on with every screen saver operation which is just as annoying. - - - This was reported here without any response to date: - http://askubuntu.com/questions/817383/ubuntu-1404-hwe-eol-kernel-breaks-thinkpad-t530-keyboard-backlight - - This was reported here without any response to date: - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/T530-Keyboard-backlight-comes-on-when-screen-saver-goes-off-once/m-p/3457674#M112494 - - Lenovo T530 BIOS info: - - Package (ID) UEFI BIOS (BIOS ID) ECP (ECP ID) Rev.
