Tosho, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758767 Title: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS 64bit is changing the Fn Keys Behavior from the BIOS Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It looks like Ubuntu is changing the Fn Keys behavior from the BIOS passing my user and admin password. When I set up Function Key Behavior - Function Key First after few or just restart and log in to Ubuntu the Behavior is changed to Multimedia Key First. While I was using 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10 32bit and Win7 I never had this problem. It's appear after I installed ubuntu 10.04 64bit. (or at least I think so..) anyway Can someone explain how is this possible, why and how can be stopped? For me it doesn't seem very reasonable and secure the OS to have ability/rights to change settings from the BIOS without my/your permission.
