Package: pbbuttonsd Version: 0.7.2-1 While researching function key breakage on my post-Oct 2005 Powerbok G4 15", I have come a few times across the following problem:
On start, either initial on boot, or afterwards, pbbuttonsd is blocked. ps reports this: root 10095 0.0 0.1 3776 1024 pts/0 D+ 22:03 0:00 /usr/bin/pbbuttonsd --configfile=/etc/pbbuttonsd.conf -d i.e process state D+. According to man ps: D Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO) According to lsof, the last file opened by pbbuttonsd is an i2c device: pbbuttons 10095 root 3r CHR 13,66 750269 /dev/input/event2 pbbuttons 10095 root 4r CHR 13,67 750271 /dev/input/event3 pbbuttons 10095 root 5u CHR 10,154 750874 /dev/pmu pbbuttons 10095 root 6u CHR 56,0 750316 /dev/adb pbbuttons 10095 root 7u CHR 89,5 750881 /dev/i2c-5 I don't know what i2c-5 corresponds to, but it's not the keyboard backlight pbbuttonsd is looking for (which is directly on PMU) The problem doesn't happen all the time. I found no indication what reaveals it. I have not observed it on version 0.7.3-5g which I used for the keyboard backlight. Let me know if you need anything else. Maybe it would be best to try and find in advance where to look for the keyboard backlight device, maybe based on model info from /proc/cpuinfo.
