[Bug 131835] Re: dellWirelessCtl needed for Dell machines
Since this bug doesn't seem to be closed, I'll post here and open another bug if necessary. Reappeared in daemon.log under Intrepid. Message: killswitch_getpower_reply(): Error getting killswitch power: dellWirelessCtl (/usr/bin/dellWirelessCtl) not available or executable. I've just downloaded libsmbios-bin after an apt-file search, and have softlinked it. I haven't issued the modprobe yet; I'll try to remember to monitor it and post back with progress. It only appears to log the warning each time NM is restarted, although I may have to revise that statement later. I don't know whether this was occurring under hardy. Is this really a bug though? I was surprised to find this report; I thought libsmbios-bin was more of an 'optional extra'... -- dellWirelessCtl needed for Dell machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is actually an important issue for laptops, because it frequently wakes up the hard disk, increasing power consumption and contributing to the load cycle issue.
