Pikachux, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs ** Tags removed: needs-kernel-logs ** Description changed: Fn+f6 & fn+f7 doesn't let me decrease/increase the backlight/brightness, only after putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up again does the backlight bar actually appear when I hit fn+f6 but it still doesn't decrease the backlight. The symptoms appear to be exactly the same as this other slightly older toshiba model posted here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/850065 UPDATE: Heres a way to turn down the backlight https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/934095/comments/34 + + --- + AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24. + ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 + Architecture: i386 + ArecordDevices: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 + AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: odin 1587 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: odin 1587 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] Filen eller katalogen finns inte + Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'PCH'/'HDA Intel PCH at 0xc3400000 irq 50' Mixer name : 'Conexant CX20585' Components : 'HDA:14f15069,1179fc50,00100302' Controls : 13 Simple ctrls : 8 + Card1.Amixer.info: Card hw:1 'NVidia'/'HDA NVidia at 0xc3000000 irq 17' Mixer name : 'Nvidia GPU 14 HDMI/DP' Components : 'HDA:10de0014,10de0101,00100100' Controls : 16 Simple ctrls : 4 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=2a275915-f56c-4620-a9fa-18c4d293dc71 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) + MachineType: TOSHIBA SATELLITE L750 + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic-pae root=UUID=ca8610c9-3d1e-47af-bb6c-f72f5bee6316 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-16.28-generic-pae 3.0.17 + RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.0.0-16-generic-pae N/A linux-backports-modules-3.0.0-16-generic-pae N/A linux-firmware 1.60 + StagingDrivers: mei + Tags: oneiric running-unity staging + Uname: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic-pae i686 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare + dmi.bios.date: 10/14/2011 + dmi.bios.vendor: INSYDE + dmi.bios.version: 2.70 + dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag + dmi.board.name: Base Board Product Name + dmi.board.vendor: Intel Corp. + dmi.board.version: Base Board Version + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: OEM Chassis Manufacturer + dmi.chassis.version: OEM Chassis Version + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnINSYDE:bvr2.70:bd10/14/2011:svnTOSHIBA:pnSATELLITEL750:pvrPSK2YE-0FR01CN5:rvnIntelCorp.:rnBaseBoardProductName:rvrBaseBoardVersion:cvnOEMChassisManufacturer:ct10:cvrOEMChassisVersion: + dmi.product.name: SATELLITE L750 + dmi.product.version: PSK2YE-0FR01CN5 + dmi.sys.vendor: TOSHIBA ** Tags added: needs-full-computer-model ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: tom (tumplis) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934095 Title: Backlight control does not work correctly on Toshiba Satellite L750-17P.
