-- light sensor is not read ? (Lucid, MacbookPro 6.2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Bug description: Hello, I have a macbook pro 6.2 with lucid 64 bits (installed following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBo … ucid#Video) and I try to read the output of light sensors in order to smartly control the screen and keyboard light. 1st question: It seems this functionnality did exist on previous ubuntu versions, right ? 2nd question: I should just have to read the 'light' file which contains the output of light sensors: ~$ cat /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/light (0,0) The trouble is this file always contains this (0,0), whatever the ambient light conditions are.. Nevertheless: Code: ~$ dmesg|grep apple [ 4.496393] apple 0003:05AC:0237.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Apple Inc.

On the other hand: Code: :~$ sensors applesmc-isa-0300 Adapter: ISA adapter Left side :2585 RPM (min = 2000 RPM) Right side :2574 RPM (min = 2000 RPM) TB0T: +42.5°C TB1T: +42.5°C TB2T: +37.2°C TC0C: +60.0°C TC0D: +61.5°C TC0P: +62.0°C TC1C: +62.0°C TG0D: +61.0°C TG0P: +57.0°C TG0T: +61.5°C TMCD: +62.0°C TP0P: +67.5°C TPCD: +75.0°C Th1H: +53.8°C Th2H: +52.8°C Tm0P: +70.2°C Ts0P: +35.5°C Ts0S: +47.2°C here no light sensors.. I also tried: Code: ~$ hal-find-by-capability --capability light-sensor --verbose Found 0 device objects of capability 'light-sensor' _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
