Sound control and brightness keys don't make OSD to show on ThinkPad after upgrade to Jaunty

[zexo]

Before upgrade to Jaunty the sound up, down and mute keys and brightness up/down combox (Fn+Home, Fn+End) caused a small window to appear. This window showed sound and brightness level.
Recently I upgraded to Jaunty and now I don't see this window. However brightness and sound changes.

How can I get this indicators back?

I can confirm this too. I have two Thinkpads: T40 (upgrade) and T41 (clean installation) and both are not working with jaunty. I noticed that changing value via brightness Gnome applet changes hardware settings, but NOT vice versa. And sound is completely separate: hotkeys are changing physical volume, but doesn't change Ubuntu's volume AND vice versa.

Of course system is up-to-date.

I have the same problem with a Thinkpad T60p (upgrade from intrepid), but only for sound control (brightness control works well). Like Roffik says, hotkeys change physical volume but not the system volume.

Confirm the issue on a Thinkpad t43p. No acpi events are being generated from those keys.

A few days ago, my brightness keys on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 stopped working.
LCD display is very dark, even on the highest brightness level.

The rest of the Fn-Key combinations still work, like sound, sleep, battery.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Tanks in advance.

[roffik (roffik)]

Yes, it is. I have a Thinkpad T41 with Lucid, all updates. The brightness applet is not working at all (I can't do it by clicking, but I can use scrolling to move the slider; however, it doesn't change the actual brightness of the screen), but the keyboard shortcut is working fine. The sound buttons work the same way as I wrote before; cite:

"And sound is completely separate: hotkeys are changing physical volume, but doesn't change Ubuntu's volume AND vice versa."

Are there any logs I can upload?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Ok these are two different bugs, so for the second (regarding volume) please open a new bug report.
For the first (regarding brightness) please run in a terminal
apport collect -p gnome-power-manager 366539

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Oops

apport-collect -p gnome-power-manager 366539

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Sorry i made a mistake on settings this page.
can you please run again the command above
:)Fabio

[roffik (roffik)]

Hi!
I don't know if you meant that _I_ should run the command you provided?
(I actually tried running it, but it showed some scary warnings and I canceled it:)

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hello roffik
just copy and paste into a terminal:

apport-collect -p gnome-power-manager 366539

This command only collect information about gnome-power-manager, dependencies and few more, but not personal information will be added, so authorize in lauchpad.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
