Dear Francesco, Do you know when there is going to be a proper fix for this issue? It seems to be present since ubuntu 8.04 and still isn't fixed. I'm pretty newbe when it comes to launchpad and bug fixing so could really appreciate your input.
This issue seems to be on lots of notebooks. Dell's, Sony's etc. Thanks in advance, Bas On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 10:14 AM, Francesco Giudici <fgiud...@dico.unimi.it>wrote: > bas, to remove the patch you have to remove the files that are in the > "script" subfolder of the patch from /etc/acpi/ and the files that are > in the "events" subfolder of the patch from /etc/acpi/events/ > > Then reboot your laptop and... patch is gone ;-) > > -- > Screen brightness doesn't work on Vaio Y > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524967 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: acpi-support > > On a Sony Vaio VPCY115FX (Y series) with the Intel Corporation Mobile 4 > Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (Mobile Intel GS45 Express > Chipset) running Karmic 64-bit, the screen brightness control doesn't work, > although the Fn keys seem to be sending the right signals (and also being > correctly interpreted by Gnome). > > The output of acpi_listen is > > sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011 (Fn+F6 struck - brightness +) > sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (Fn+F6 released) > sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010 (Fn+F5 struck - brightness -) > sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (Fn+F5 released) > > I have tried the following procedures, with no effect. > > - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2877962 > - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=733322 > > This problem has also been reported for previous and current versions of > Ubuntu, on different Vaio laptops with different graphic cards. > > - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1404806 > > ProblemType: Bug > Architecture: amd64 > Date: Sat Feb 20 14:54:25 2010 > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 > InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) > Package: acpi-support 0.129 > ProcEnviron: > LANGUAGE=pt_BR.UTF-8 > LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 > SHELL=/bin/bash > ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-19.56-generic > SourcePackage: acpi-support > Uname: Linux 2.6.31-19-generic x86_64 > > To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/524967/+subscribe > -- Screen brightness doesn't work on Vaio Y https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524967 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
