dv1550se: upower never registers lid-open event though ACPI does

[S. Christian Collins]

I can check the reported state of my laptop lid's status (open or closed) via two methods:
  1) cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state
  2) upower --dump

Whether the lid is closed or open is not always reported identically between these two methods. On my laptop, after closing and opening the lid, "upower --dump" will report the lid as closed, while "/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state" correctly says the lid is open.

Using acpi_listen, my laptop generates lid events when the lid closes, but not when it opens. I compared this to another laptop and the second laptop generates laptop lid events both when opening and closing the lid.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[S. Christian Collins (s-chriscollins)]

I tested using the 3.7-rc4 mainline kernel and the bug still persists. I have updated the tags and bug status accordingly.

S. Christian Collins, could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker?

[S. Christian Collins (s-chriscollins)]

Shoot, I thought that was the full computer model (HP Pavilion dv1550se). Unfortunately, I no longer own this laptop, so I am unable to investigate further.
