[karmic regression] live CD finds eth and wlan devices only with acpi=off on acer aspire 7730Z

[Heiko Selber]

Binary package hint: acpid

When I try to boot the live system of the karmic (9.10) desktop CD on my acer aspire 7730Z laptop, it fails to activate ethernet and wlan interfaces.

It works only when I boot with acpi=off.

The jaunty (9.04) live CD activates the interfaces straightforward with acpi on.

I can provide additional information (logs etc.) if required.

I don't know it acpid is the correct package; I tried my best to find one.

BTW: Booting the 9.10 live system takes more than 10 minutes; 9.04 comes up in less than 3 minutes. I don't know if this is related.

Heiko Selber, 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

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) 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-rc7

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.
