Log out & NVidia
This is a problem between the 177.* drivers and broken Lenovo DFP EDID. You can make it work by increasing timeout in GDM: e.g. set GdmXServerTimeout=45 in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
This workaround works. I've read it on the LP bug report as well. I don't know if it has to do with the broken EDID. I've seen much more laptops with broked EDIDs, but this hang does not occur with Intrepid on those machines.--Gertvdijk 18:42, 6 November 2008 (CET)
WiFi & HW RFkill
I think that the interface is just not brought up after the kill switch is disabled. Try: ip l s wlan0 up
This works, just like reloading the module. Why is it so hard to fix in the the release?--Gertvdijk 18:42, 6 November 2008 (CET)
UUOC award nomination
Looking at this line in the powermizer-loop script
powerstate=`cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state | awk '{print $2}'`
Can this be changed to
powerstate=`awk '{print $2}' /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state`
For UUOC, see Wikipedia ;) Jomanchu 08:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
