Thanks for the tip Prakash - I can also confirm the brightness keys now work on my Lenovo G530 with kms enabled using 2.6.34-020634rc6-generic from kernel-ppa. It incorporates the previously mentioned patch from the kernel bugzilla: Zhang Rui (1): drm/i915: set DIDL using the ACPI video outp

Confirmed with my Lenovo G530. Without any changes to boot params, the brightness keys work until gdm, (eg ok during plymouth) and also in single user mode. No acpi events are generated though. Using acpi=off works also (no events generated, handled by bios I suppose), but is useless as it kills

Yeah this is not a good look for a key application in the default install. I've switched back to New Wave which retains the dark panel and window decorations, but looks fine for open office. -- some regressions on openoffice looks with new themes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554271 You receive

I get the same kind of error trying to install packages from the command line. It appears jockey backend is holding the lock. This likely a manifestation of bug #373795 as I'm behind a proxy, though I think software center should be changed to report a less ominous error message for LockFailedExcep

I was having the same problem and have looked a bit more into what is causing it in my case. By default theres a check for a PICTURES folder (note all caps), which triggers recognition as a "Picture CD", regardless of whether the device is a CD or not (which is a bit daft - fixing this would be th

I was getting similar problems on an iBook, PPC 500Mhz. Note that the upstream bug (gnome bug 491047) has since been closed with a fix. I backported the fix to the network-manager as shipped with gutsy (its just a couple of lines). You can build a fixed package pretty easily, or I can upload the
