** Summary changed: - power button not working when Samsung laptop is booted in CSM mode; works fine in EFI mode + power button not working using non-default kernel parameters, when Samsung laptop is booted in CSM mode; works fine in EFI mode ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1114856 Title: power button not working using non-default kernel parameters, when Samsung laptop is booted in CSM mode; works fine in EFI mode Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When my Samsung NP700Z5C is booted in the CSM (BIOS compatibility) mode, pressing the power button has no effect. There is no scancode per "/lib/udev/keymap". However, when the same laptop is booted in the UEFI mode, the power button works perfectly fine. The problem is quite annoying because if the laptop is accidentally sent to sleep or hibernate mode, there is no return back from sleep/hibernate. Pressing the power button has no effect. The laptop can be turned off by long-pressing the power button, with the collateral loss of all unsaved data.
