Description apa khabar 2011-09-09 18:30:55 CEST

Description of problem:After a live upgrade from Mandriva 2010.1, on reboot I am unable to login because the keyboard is locked. The machine is a Lenovo 3000 G430 laptop, which uses Function F8 to toggle the keyboard lock. This function key does not work in Mageia. In Mandriva the kernel had a Thinkpad ACPI module built in. The Mageia kernel seems to have this also. But the key does not unlock the keyboard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:Boot and wait for GDM login window

Thank you for your report.

We don't have enough information yet to be able to look into this. 

Can you please explain how you upgraded from Mandriva 2010.1 to Cauldron? And could you please upload /root/drakx/report.bug.gz from this upgrade (I hope you do still have it, without it our developers can't do anything)

What is the exact type of Lenovo 3000 G430 you've got? This question is, because apparently, other Lenovo 3000 G430 laptops toggle their touchpad with Fn + F8, see http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+3000+g430. 

What do you mean with "the keyboard is locked"? Do you mean that none of the keys respond but you can see the login screen? 

I haven't seen a lot of Lenovo laptops, but the ones I saw only had screenlock (which locks the keys and hides the screen) and numlock, but the screenlockkey is usually disabled in Linux. 

Can you tell more about your keyboard-layout. Is it US_international or different?

Can you explain how you upgraded from Mandriva 2010.1 to Cauldron? Could you please upload /root/drakx/report.bug.gz from this upgrade (I hope you do still have it, without it our developers can't do anything)

Thanks!
