The lack of dmidecode is very, very strange. The following packages are
all dependent on the dmidecode package in Edgy:
ubuntu-standard
laptop-detect
hotkey-setup
acpi-support
education-common (Feisty removes this)
I guess I'm puzzled by how one can get Edgy on a laptop without these
installed... ...unless you installed an Ubuntu other than desktop
Ubuntu? (Even my Dapper server install includes dmidecode.)
If at all possible*, it may be worthwhile for you to install Edgy from
the CD, overwriting your current Ubuntu.
* "at all possible" means at least all of the the following are true, if
not more:
you have separate / and /home partitions, or you easily backup and
restore /home after the install,
you have made minimal or zero changes to / yourself (including to /etc,
etc.) OR you can manage remaking those changes on a fresh install, and
when you do restore anything after the re-install, you make as few
changes to / as possible - preferably none, at least not before
retesting this behavior.
