Thread: Recent daily update broke acpi-related things


one of recent updates broke number of things, of appear acpi related.

1. brightness controls no longer work (fn+f8 , fn+f9)
2. skip forward (for media player) works (fn+f12), skip backwards (fn+f10) no longer
3. suspend on lid-close appears have stopped working - box checked in power preferences
4. fan appears have stopped working - rather urgent problem given i'm in 35 deg heat 90% humidity...

using gnome 3 desktop , running 11.10 on thinkpadx121e.

have tried installing tpb, no avail.

know how go finding out what's causing problem, or how can fix it?

thanks,

j

reminded me had seen creation of paniclog file in home folder. maybe wasn't update did it.

in case useful thinks can resolve problem, contents of file are:
0.0.7e7f3 20120303: impossible read proxy interface failed
