Bug Description

Lenovo-T430s

201202-10635

Problem discovered:
Battery information key actually locks systems requiring password entry. The actual lock key designated for the systems does nothing. Other keys seem to respond intermittedly. Example: hitting the brightness keys could change the display without issue, however after trying again 5 minutes later the machine will not. While using the laptop for awhile the brightness will adjust with no user interaction suggesting there is a huge lag between input. This goes for the sleep key as well.

Affected keys:
Lock, sleep, wireless, brightness, media back, media forward, media stop/play/resume.

The fn key that seems to work flawlessly is the led above the display's onboard camera. This is mapped to the spacebar.

Do you know if this issue happened in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new issue?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Jeff Marcom, 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>
