I installed 8.04 alpha 5 yesterday and tried a few things. As reported here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=666757
if I manually load the acpiphp module and then press the undock button then I can successfully undock once. But on connecting the laptop back to the docking station the network port is no longer detected and neither is the in use LED glowing. But if I suspend to RAM once and wake up the machine then the in use LED starts to glow but the network port is still not enabled. I did a tail -f /var/log/kern.log and found that indeed a undock event is generated when the in use LED is glowing and the undock button is pressed but not otherwise. I am attaching fresh uname, lspci and dmesg outputs for your perusal. Please let me know what else I can do to help. Is there was an ACPI event that gets generated when the laptop is docked/undocked? It tried to use the acpi_listen command but it did not show any event. vishy -- [gutsy] docking station hard freeze with vaio vgn sz483n https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194617 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
