bluetooth switch displays LCD brightness notification

[Indian Art]

Binary package hint: bluetooth

Hi,
When I switch off the bluetooth via the "acer-bluetooth bluetooth Killswitch". The brightness icon (notification) comes up.
This anomaly did happen with Ubuntu 8.04.
Hardware: ACER Aspire 5920
Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using,
Ubuntu 9.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'
or by checking in Synaptic.
W: Unable to locate package packagename

3) What you expected to happen
Don't expect he brightness icon comes up.

4) What happened instead
The brightness icon comes up.

This isn't a bluez bug, but a kernel bug. Bluez just used the killswitch without touching anything else. Likely the acer-wmi module is modifying more in the wmi space then.

Any workarounds? My girlfriend is really mad at her Ubuntu machine because she can't send her cell photos to the computer without using an USB cable or booting to Vista.

Hi Indian,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 378805

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. 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. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This is still an issue on my Acer Aspire 8930, I have the latest updates installed and running 11.10.

I need someone else to take this bug, since my wife (which was my gf back
when I reported this bug in 2009) doesn't have that computer anymore and
neither do I.
