Current Issues
EDGY ISSUES
Screen & Monitor issues:
FIX RELEASED Usplash prevents a correct view of the console (ctrl alt F1) which is now decentred [https://launchpad.net/malone/57694 #57694]
External monitor is not well detected: I own a Samsung SyncMaster 710MP TV/LCD. The result is that after the autoregolation I can’t view a little part of the screen. Correct resolution values are 1280x1024 60.1kHz 75Hz PP but I get 1280x1024 64.0kHz 60Hz PP [https://launchpad.net/malone/57802 #57802]
Very Very rarely. Image heavily disturbed (flickering) if framebuffer is enabled: kind of resolution is to switch to console CTRL-ALT-F1 and switch back to X ALT-F7 every time you have this issue. Another fix may be disable framebuffer: add vga=normal to boot options, but you will lose splash screen at boot. [https://launchpad.net/malone/24270 #24270]
No tv-out support with the ati xorg module [https://launchpad.net/malone/37764 #37764]
- Battery issues:
FIX RELEASED gnome-power-manager displays an uncorrect icon if you plug the AC before the computer is started, when your battery is not fully charged. You must re-plug the cable if you want to see correct values [https://launchpad.net/malone/38632 #38632]
- Sleep/Hibernate issues:
Sleep-only the system fails when restarting with this debug message: [numbers.numbers] Rebooting System. [https://launchpad.net/malone/29695 #29695]
Sleep-only ipw2200 module can't be reloaded if you switched it off using the laptop hotkey, because the hotkey-handler doesn't use a method that puts the device into sleep mode. When the wireless module is reloaded it goes into an error, but if you tell to keep the module in ram (in /etc/default/acpi-support -> MODULE_WHITELIST) this bug will not occur [https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/42387 #42387]
FIX RELEASED Both if using network-manager, ipw2200 is detected as a wired device after the resume [https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/59981 #59981]
- Wireless issues:
ipw2200 doesn't retain the card status (radio on/radio off) after a reboot/shutdown/hibernate [https://launchpad.net/malone/37010 #37010]
- Additional Hardware issues:
SD/MMC Card reader not supported. there is a [http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/ project] which is trying to develop some driver. [https://launchpad.net/malone/36964 #36964]
- Function and other keys issues:
MAJOR!
Don't press Fn+F8 because it freezes the system at all [https://launchpad.net/malone/36885 #36885]
Power4gear hotkey not correctly handled: its functionality is not to lock the screen but to switch between some predefined power profiles (powersave, dynamic, performance...) [https://launchpad.net/malone/35791 #35791]
Touchpad button not working: SHMConfig option is insecure and do not enabled by default [https://launchpad.net/malone/37234 #37234]
Not all multimedia hotkeys are handled by default: go to Systm->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts and set them. [https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37225 #37225]
Stop hotkey not working if using totem [https://launchpad.net/malone/22025 #22025]
Multimedia hotkeys don't influence Totem if it's not the current selected window. [https://launchpad.net/malone/22025 #22025]
asus-wireless.sh wants to switch led on even if no wifi card is present. PLEASE CORRECT THIS BUG! I'VE PUT A SOLUTION IN THE BUG DESCRIPTION! [https://launchpad.net/malone/38354 #38354]
FIX RELEASED The power button does no more pop up the interactive shutdown menu [https://launchpad.net/malone/57872 #57872]
