Tested on 12.04, and also hangs there BUT I found the 'cause' of it. When I received this laptop I installed a new half size mini PCIE wireless card (Intel based) and that seems to cause the hang somehow. When I remove the wireless card or reinstall the old original one modprobing acer-wmi finishes immediately and succesfull with no hangs.
I don't know now if this is still a valid bug, since maybe the card is not fully supported by the laptop (while it works ok besides this issue). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262797 Title: [Acer Aspire 7740] acer-wmi module hangs laptop for 10 seconds on boot/modprobe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1262797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
