Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts Version: 1.1.12 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I performed an upgrade of my Asus EeePC 1000 from Squeeze to Wheezy back in November without any particular problems. The upgrade did NOT install the eeepc-acpi-scripts package, but it seemed like an appropiate package to have installed, so I later installed it manually. I later began to experience a problem with video corruption (that I had never experienced before) when the system was booting. It was not reproducible, occurring perhaps 25% of the time. As the problem was random in nature, I did not initially suspect the eeepc-acpi-scripts package was related to the problem. The corruption is best described as colored "snow" with *nothing* intelligible on the screen. None of the Alt-Fn keys would bring up another VT, I could not login remotely using ssh. I could not coax the system to perform a clean shutdown either, pressing the power button, or hitting ctrl-alt-del did nothing. All I could do was power down and reboot. The freezes were nasty enough that my /var/log directory got thoroughly trashed on one occassion, with about 20 log files ending up in /lost+found as a result of problems found by fsck on the reboot. It's worth noting that this video corruption also happened (just once) during a system *shutdown* after the X11 server exited. The messages at boot fly by so fast, so I installed bootlogd to better understand the normal boot sequence. At that point, it became obvious that when this problem happened it was when the eeepc-acpi-scripts in /etc/init was executed. After purging eeepc-acpi-scripts from my system, I have *not* seen the problem after well more than 20 boots. Sorry I can't provide more helpful information, but /var/log/messages and so forth contained nothing useful.
