I got hit by this bug too..... Hardware HP6710B
r...@x01:~# uname -a Linux X01 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:15:50 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Symptom ======= Closing the lid amost always caused a kernel panic. Everything on the machine freezes. Only reason I know for sure it was a pnic was I switched to a text terminal before trying this and saw the panic text: there's nothing in the logs. You cannot change to other terminal or log in remotely. Only way to reboot is to hold down the power key for 4 seconds for a hard reset. workaround: ========== change the power management option on the Gnome desktop to "do nothing" on lid closure (the backlight goes off anyway apparently in hardware) check this is working echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS and then close the lid and check if you can log in remotely, or work agian by re-opeing the lid. if this works, permanently override the default by adding to rc.local sudo vi /etc/rc.local and add the following lines echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS exit 0 -- Hardy/Gutsy crashes when the lid is closed on a HP 6710b, HP 6510b and HP 2510p https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157691 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
