no power button in edgy

[Laszlo Almasi]

I have installed the final release of ubuntu edgy on a Compaq Presario M2000Z and the system does not recognize my power button.
The command "gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose" lets me know that there is no recognition from g-p-m of the power button but there is one of the lid button.
This used to work fine with dapper.

I removed gnome-power-manager and installed the older, dapper version of g-p-m on edgy but the bug remained so I assume it's not a g-p-m bug but something else.

Hi Laszlo,

Can you run `lshal -m` and hit the power button? Does it respond?

You should see something like "acpi_PWRF condition ButtonPressed = power"

Thanks.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your reply! It doesn't respond to the power button, but
does to all the other buttons. I run an i386 install as well, it works
there perfect.
Thanks,
Laszlo

I believe this is because Linux is detecting a PWRF button instead of a PWRB.

[Laszlo Almasi (almalaci)]

and how can I check that?
Is this a problem with HAL then, rather than an acpi or g-p-m issue?

I am assigning this bug to the 'ubuntu-kernel-team' per their bug policy. For future reference you can learn more about their bug policy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies .

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks.

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.
