Installed "ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL" update. Other packages updated with it
since nothing has been updating since Aug because ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL
update was holding it up.
Problem still exists with the keyboard backlight coming on when the
screen saver restores the normal desktop upon hitting the Enter key.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL kernel breaks Thinkpad T530 keyboard backlight
operation
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
System: Lenovo Thinkpad T530 laptop
OS: ubuntu 14.04 LTS, kernel 3.19.0-66-generic 64bit
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
With the above configuration the keyboard backlights and screen-top
illuminator work as they are supposed to.
In August I received the 1404_HWE_EOL update popup. Image taken today is
attached.
I installed the ubuntu 1404_HWE_EOL which installed (I think) some 4.4 kernel.
After installing, the keyboard backlights and screen-top illuminator
come on without hitting the special keys. When it returns from screen
saver when I hit the return key these lights come on also.
If I reboot to the old kernel all is well. So something is broken in
the kernel that is installed with the 1404_HWE_EOL
So I deleted this new kernel for now.
The popup comes up constantly for almost 4 months now, many many times
per day. This is a huge annoyance.
More seriously is that no other updates are coming in. This poses
security issues at a minimum.
Accepting the update causes the backlights and screen-top illuminator
to go on with every screen saver operation which is just as annoying.

I hope someone can fix this so I can move forward and stop the annoyances to
boot.
