Debugging some annoying problem on an Lenovo IdeaPad where the keyboard stops working after suspend+resume.. so I need to use an external keyboard sometimes.
It will never stop annoying me that notebook vendors can't decide where to put the fucking Ctrl (Strg) and Fn keys -_-
Looks like a distro bug.
I agree. Which distro?
@SpaceLifeForm
XUbuntu 26.04, but also tested a live Arch Linux and XUbuntu 22.02 (mainly to test older kernels which wouldn't boot with 26.04)
some details about this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221217#c2
Interesting. Bleeding edge on AMD.
My hunch is that if you install Debian Trixie with the non-free parts, the problem will disappear.
@SpaceLifeForm
Why should it?
I tried older kernels (incl the unofficial "mainline" kernels for Ubuntu that are unpatched) and they had the same problem
"Bleeding edge" - not really, that device (or at least others from that series that even share the same BIOS, only have different screen size) has been around since 2023 or so. The Kernel is bleeding edge, yeah, but if I have to debug I might as well debug (and hopefully fix) the latest
The problem may not really be in the kernel.
The problem may be the firmware blobs that are not being loaded by userland (insmod, etc) or the incorrect versioned blob, or incorrect settings.
There can be many combinations that were not tested.
I have an relatively new Ideapad that can not run Bookworm, but Trixie works. Firmware problem.
Probsbly never tested, never bsckported.
