Hello at all,
well, I just have one simple question.
As the original poster, I would like to check the above statements about
the acpi_osi parameter against my original bug entry. Yes, my original
post was against Ubuntu 9.10.... now I installed 10.4 (Netbook Edition)
in the expectation, that something changes and that using a more current
version will help the developers to focus on one single source.
Well, unfortinately I do not have much time and I did not need to change
any boot kernel boot parameter in the years before. I tried to find any
description in any wiki HOW to change those parameters EXACTLY. This
menas everybody is talking about the contents to change, but nobody
actually says, how to do that?
The total information chain is not very userfriendly. For example:
Changing the parameters during boot-up by pressing the 'e'-key actually
shows up the params, where I can edit them.... but there is exactly zero
information about how to store the changes - so useless. The second way
is to open the grub.cfg after login with an editor and to edit the
entries of the boot menu, which contains the parameters in a {}-block.
In fact I tried this by adding a new line with the above statement
"acpi_osi=Linux". But that actually made absolute no difference.
So based on the above abitlity of myself, I currently cannot confirm,
that anything's changed. In fact it is even worse, because less keys
work than with karmic. So I currently can confirm only that with lucid
the situation is worse.
As I strongly believe that I am just too stupid, I didn't update the
checklist of keys.
So, if there is somebody who has the energy to explain to me, how to
change the kernel boot parameters, it would be very nice. Then I will
update the list in respect of the original intention of this bug entry.
If necessary, we could use direct email communication in order to keep
the bug comments clean.
Bye,
Sven
P.S.: I do not have time regulary. Usually once per week. Let's say for about 2
hours per week for this topic. Usually on Mondays or Tuesdays.
