Hardware sensors not working on Toshiba Satellite M40x (need omnibook module)

[Dan Ballard]

Hardware sensors (tempurature) is not working for my Toshiba Satellite M40x laptop with my fresh Ubuntu Feisty install.

I got it working with Gentoo using the omnibook kernel module found at:
http://omnibook.sourceforge.net/doku.php

It works with Toshiba laptops with the pheonix bios.

I followed the instruction in the forum to get it to work for my laptop with feisty here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=316358&highlight=omnibook

So aside from hopefully getting this software added to the Ubuntu repository, what information about my laptop do you need so that it also gets autoloaded?

Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

[Dan Ballard (haplo)]

Yes it is. Omnibook still isn't in the Ubuntu package repository.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Hi Dan,

Do you know if there have been any efforts to get this module submitted and accepted into the mainline kernel? It is a lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree patches. As such they require evidence of upstream submission before considering to maintain community patches locally. Thanks.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

I'm opened a new task against the actively developed kernel. However, I'm closing the report against linux-source-2.6.20 as it does not meet the criteria for a stable release update. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks!

[Dan Ballard (haplo)]

Ha sorry, that laptop died last year so I can't test this anymore. So at least from my point of view this bug is moot.

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

The module is debianized with dkms here:
https://code.google.com/p/omnibook-kernel-module/
It works fine on quantal. It was actually part of the shipping Ubuntu kernels until removed in 2.6.39 by Leann Ogasawara. I think it should be put back in.

Dan Ballard, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one at the top) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Daniel Gimpelevich, please do not apport-collect to another person's report, nor with VirtualBox as this is largely unhelpful for a hardware dependent issue. Instead, so your hardware may be tracked, could you please file a new report by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue
Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports
Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Thank you for your understanding.

That would be equally unhelpful. What would be helpful would be to add
the kernel module back to the kernel packages. Leann should not have
removed it. This is not a bug in any code. This bug is in Ubuntu
packaging.
