[Bug 1645985] Re: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation
As I previously reported, my SSD is full and cannot build kernels. I have made several attempts to upgrade to a larger SSD but the grub2 installer refuses to install so I'm still not able to build kernels. Since you don't care to help you will have to wait until I can find someone to help correct the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS grub2 problem for me to be able to get the space so I can work on this kernel bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1645985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

rich painter, providing a commit string of a kernel version bisect is unfortunately not helpful here, and is not the requested commit bisect.

[Bug 1645985] Re: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation
I already read #25 4 or more times and it did not provide sufficient details to tell me what to do in conjunction with your other direction. So I provided the details of what I did and asked my questions when you balked Your reply doesn't help when it doesn't even answer these follow up questions. I went to the place where you pointed and bisected all the versions between the latest and the one I started with. I found the one that started the failure. I dug into the index for that version and pulled out the "commit" as you asked and all you reply with is to point me to the same #25 I have already read a bunch. Do you or do you not want the commit string I got from the version that failed out of the index file that plainly stated: These binary packages represent builds of the mainline or stable Linux kernel tree at the commit below: v4.5-rc1 (92e963f50fc74041b5e9e744c330dca48e04f08d) You initially stated "the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.19 to 4.4 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one". I understand "bisecting" of lists to locate one of interest and have been doing this for over 40 years. However, "fully commit bisect" is vague and you don't explain what you want. The reference to "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection; I read too. But that too is confusing. Since you sent me to "http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D" I used THIS to get the kernels to bisect. You have not said one way or the other whether you sent me to the wrong place to get this stuff to bisect. Reading "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection; and using "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D; I followed your instructions. I did not find any fields or boxes on this web page to put something referred to as a "fully commit" or even "commit". If this is not what you want then you have to at least answer my questions and point me to a different file tree other than "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D; to find whatever else I am to find and how to report to you what that is that correlates to what I tested. I cannot get src and build kernels with my current setup. So I have to rely on the fully built .deb packages. I did this and isolated what worked and what didn't from "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D". I reported the "commit" data from this. How about a more specific description of what you want that is different from what I produced and how I'm to report it differently from how I have already reported? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1645985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not sure how to provide this. You sent me to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D to obtain the various kernels to test. This is the kernel releases I bisected...

After bisecting the kernel releases I have determined when this bug was injected. Release 4.4.39 is OK Release 4.5-rc1 is BROKEN 64-bit Generic versions were used. After testing many releases I have discovered one additional aspect of this bug of the backlight inappropriately coming on following the exiting of the screen saver. In the broken kernels the backlight will illuminate during the "traveling dots" while the desktop GUI is starting. It remains on until manually disabled or when the screen saver exits. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-4.5-rc1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1645985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

rich painter, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.19 to 4.4 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ? Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting. Also, the kernel release names are irrelevant for the purposes of bisecting. It is most helpful that after the fix commit (not kernel version) has been identified, you then mark this report Status Confirmed.

Re: [Bug 1645985] Re: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation
very fine. my worry is how do I reverse any changes and updates once I do this to collect the apport data... this problem is HIGHLY annoying. I was able to uninstall the 1404_HWE_EOL update immediately after the checkout and discovery of the backlight problem... So I dont know what will happen if I let additional update flow in following rerunning 1404_HWE_EOL... do you have any insight on this risk? thanks rich On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 9:19 AM, Joseph Salisbury < joseph.salisb...@canonical.com> wrote: > Yes, please run apport after installing the update.

[Bug 1645985] Re: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation
Yes, please run apport after installing the update. Also, check to see if there are any additional updates after installing the one requested. ** Tags added: kernel-da-key ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645985 Title: ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight operation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1645985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
