Package: pbbuttonsd Version: 0.7.9-2 Severity: important
When first installed, pbbuttonsd made it possible to use the PowerBook's keys to control LCD brightness as well as volume but the former no longer works. I don't know enough to tell but I am not really sure if this is pbbuttonsd or a kernel issue? It logs messages such as: No backlight driver available - check your Kernel configuration. The display does get dimmed if the AC power source is removed but it doesn't come back up when it is replaced and the buttons do nothing at all. (In fact, without AC, it dims so much the display is entirely unreadable and unusable - a tad too much energy saving, perhaps.) It has never enabled sleep, suspend, hibernate etc. on my machine. But this could well be user ignorance and error rather than anything wrong. This is on a G4 12" PowerBook - Aluminium from summer 2005. Buttons, brightness, sleep etc. all work fine under OS X so it isn't a hardware issue. I'm also seeing complaints that /dev/cdrom doesn't exist along with the missing backlight driver messages. Happy to provide more information if somebody can provide instructions. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pbbuttonsd depends on: ii hdparm 9.32-1 tune hard disk parameters for high ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.6.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libstdc++6 4.6.1-4 GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii udev 172-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages pbbuttonsd recommends: ii laptop-mode-tools 1.58-3 Tools for Power Savings based on b pbbuttonsd suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/pbbuttonsd [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/pbbuttonsd' -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
