rich painter, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.19 to 4.4 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?
Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting. Also, the kernel release names are irrelevant for the purposes of bisecting. It is most helpful that after the fix commit (not kernel version) has been identified, you then mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your help. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.9 ** Tags added: needs-bisect ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using kernel 3.19.0-66-generic the keyboard backlight and screen-top illuminator work. However, after upgrading to kernel 4.4 the keyboard backlight 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. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.21 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: painter 3092 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=05f2d9dc-173d-41bc-8332-7d0a6e7394fa InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-23 (741 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) MachineType: LENOVO 2359CTO Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-51-generic root=UUID=349d96ad-2412-45a5-b1d9-46eb9050bce1 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-51.72~14.04.1-generic 4.4.30 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
