Attachment added per instructions.

I restarted g-p-m in verbose mode, then pressed each of the not working hotkeys (see above) in turn. Then I stopped g-p-m.

Just to be clear- suspend to disk (as well as RAM) works fine from the menu.

I see that this has been marked 'incomplete'. What further information is required?

I am having the same issue. It apparently resulted in not able to enable the wireless network device! wireless network device is not working. I can connect to network using LAN cable but wireless LAN is disabled. Without wireless network and thereby internet connection, there is no use of working on Ubuntu.

Please somebody take some action on it.

[FokkerCharlie (charlie-andrews)]

Yes, behaviour still exists, fully updated Maverick 64.

[mandar (mandaarp)]

FokkerCharlie: Is wireless network device working on your ubuntu - Toshiba Satellite A660 laptop? If yes, please let me know how did you make it work. I can manage with non-working hotkeys somehow but I cannot manage with non-working wireless networking. :(
