It appears that difference between Feisty and Hardy is the appearance of the sony-laptop module in Hardy - this is overriding the sonypi module that handles the hotkeys. I suggest as an interim workaround to black list the sony-laptop module:
sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the following line: blacklist sony-laptop reboot and let me know if this interim workaround helps. I will investigate why the sony-laptop module isn't working correctly -- [regression] [hardy] sony eject button doesn't work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
