Bug Description

Binary package hint: acpi-support

Many ACPI events are not being sent. Using "acpi_listen" reports no activity for the following events:
Lid open, Lid close, Wifi toggle (Fn-F11), Bluetooth toggle (Fn-F12).

There are several other keys that do trigger events, such as Display brightness (Fn-F8 and Fn-F9).

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.

The set of ACPI events shown is dictated by the machine's ACPI implementation, not by any packages in Ubuntu. If these keys don't generate ACPI events, this is not a bug in Ubuntu.

If the hotkeys are not having any effect at all on your system, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting for information on how to debug this.
