This report is only focused on one problem, "Unable to disable wireless on Toshiba NB520 via FN+F8". Hence, please do not amalgamate every possible key combination, and if they do or do not work. For more on this, please see the Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue and Ubuntu Community article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs >"Fn+F8 wireless has been fixed." Glad to hear this is working in Quantal. Did you need a backport of this to a release prior to Quantal, or may we mark this as Status Invalid? >"Fn+F9 touchpad continues not to work although it was working pre-12.04. Other keystrokes seem to have been correctly preserved." Please see above. >"I was unable to test against the latest upstream kernel. After installing: linux-image-3.7.0-030700rc1-generic_3.7.0-030700rc1.201210161007_amd64.deb the machine failed to boot, giving the following messages: [ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: ... ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/552c... does not exist." No worries as the problem is fixed in Quantal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815419 Title: Unable to disable wireless on Toshiba NB520 via FN+F8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/815419/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
