1) Can you still toggle the caps-lock light by pressing the caps-lock key? 2) Can you reboot by holding down *all* of the following keys combos (do all of them): alt + sysrq + s alt + sysrq + u alt + sysrq + b Also, would it be possible to try re-installing with a 13.10 / 14.04 image to see if the behaviour is different? -- 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/1256949 Title: Dell Latitude E5420 doesn't boot if killswitch is turned to "radio off" Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04.3, Dell E5420.
