I'm open to correction on this, but it looks like the problem is that a modified version of the kernel module toshiba_acpi is required for toshset to run. Although toshiba_acpi is present in Ubuntu 10.10 (with kernel 2.6.35), it seems it is the unmodified version, and it needs to be patched. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this - if anyone does please let us know!
The older kernels, eg 2.6.32 (as used in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid) used the patched driver, and this allowed toshset to run. A work-around solution is simply to use the older kernel. Not an ideal situation, of course, but until such time as the patched toshiba_acpi is included in the latest kernel, using the older kernel will enable the use of toshset. Easiest way to do it is just install kernel 2.6.32-25-generic through Synaptic. Everything still works as normal (at least on my system it does), but most importantly, toshset works with this kernel. -- required kernel toshiba support not enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
