** Description changed: I am running Kubuntu 12.10 on a toshiba Z835-P330 laptop. From within windows, the keyboard command "FN+Z" turns on and off the keyboard backlight (retrolight). From within linux, the command does nothing. Setting the backlight in the bios to "always on" turns on the backlight always, which works, but is not ideal as I have to restart to turn on or off the backlight. I can provide any dumps of hardware or anything needed. Also, I can provide the windows driver for the backlight if that is helpful. - Nothing shows up in /var/log/syslog on press of FN+Z, but other FN - combinations do show up. + Nothing shows up in /var/log/syslog on press of FN+Z, but other FN combinations do show up. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: jeff 1977 F.... pulseaudio + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=730b5605-4a5a-460a-bd4f-7409fd85c21d + InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-31 (51 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) + MachineType: TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z835 + MarkForUpload: True + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-21-generic root=UUID=a249dd88-32fd-4a50-a7a0-9f561720769d ro quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-21.32-generic 3.5.7.1 + PulseList: + Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory /home/jeff not ours. + No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-3.5.0-21-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-21-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.95 + RfKill: + 0: phy0: Wireless LAN + Soft blocked: no + Hard blocked: no + Tags: quantal + Uname: Linux 3.5.0-21-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: lp lpadmin + dmi.bios.date: 02/08/2012 + dmi.bios.vendor: TOSHIBA + dmi.bios.version: Version 1.60 + dmi.board.asset.tag: 0000000000 + dmi.board.name: Portable PC + dmi.board.vendor: TOSHIBA + dmi.board.version: Version A0 + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0000000000 + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: TOSHIBA + dmi.chassis.version: Version 1.0 + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnTOSHIBA:bvrVersion1.60:bd02/08/2012:svnTOSHIBA:pnPORTEGEZ835:pvrPT224U-001001:rvnTOSHIBA:rnPortablePC:rvrVersionA0:cvnTOSHIBA:ct10:cvrVersion1.0: + dmi.product.name: PORTEGE Z835 + dmi.product.version: PT224U-001001 + dmi.sys.vendor: TOSHIBA ** Attachment added: "AlsaInfo.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092801/+attachment/3465067/+files/AlsaInfo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092801 Title: Keyboard backlight cannot be controlled from within ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1092801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
