loading hdaps fails on a Thinkpad Z60m (and W500)

Could you please include, as an attachment, of the output of `dmesg`? You
should upload it right after you finish trying to `modprobe hdaps`.

Oops, I forgot to check the syslog:

hdaps: supported laptop not found!

So, please add the Z60m to the in-kernel whitelist. See also
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0603.3/0573.html
and
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-April/015983.html

That patch, at http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-April/015983.html,
seems a bit sketchy. Shouldn't it say?

    HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_LENOVO("ThinkPad Z60m")

I think it should be OK, the DMI of the Z60m is still referring to IBM:

 SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes.
 System Information
         Manufacturer: IBM
         Product Name: 2529ETG
         Version: ThinkPad Z60m
         Serial Number: *******
         UUID: ********-****-****-****-************
         Wake-up Type: Power Switch

Here's a more trustworthy source:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4f507ea1560805b16cf4a4359e304ae0db0c2dcb

Yes, that's a good patch to merge.

So, will this be in one of the next dapper kernel updates?
That would be great!

BTW there are other models which need to be whitelisted. See bug 44976.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I have a Lenovo W500 and Ubuntu Jaunty. I get the same error when trying to modprobe hdaps:

[ 427.764275] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[ 427.764277] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

Please fix this for the Jaunty release.

James, please attach your dmidecode information:

sudo dmidecode > dmidecode.log

Thanks James. I'm attaching a patch for the Ubuntu kernel team to consider. I'll also inline here for easy review. Thanks.

@James Ward -- I have applied the patch suggested by Leann and built some test kernels. If you could test those and report back here that would be helpful. Note that there is a possibility that the axes may be inverted which would need checking too. The kernels are at the URL below:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp57315-jaunty/

Thanks Andy. I've tried your new kernel but still have the same problem:

jamesw@dos:~$ sudo modprobe hdaps

@James -- I have applied a modified patch to the latest Jaunty kernels. Could you test that and report back here. Kernels can be found at the URL below:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp57315-jaunty/

Thanks Andy. I didn't see the i386 kernel image deb. Do I only need the headers?

I just marked several other reports as duplicates, all of them reports of hdaps failing to load on ThinkPads with "hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!"

Thanks Thomas, and anyone else who is looking into this. Yes there are quite a few duplicates. This has been an issue for quite some time now.

Any word on this? I'm on the latest Jaunty and it's still not working. I have a Lenovo W500.

Thanks.

-James

ping? I'm really hoping this can make it into Jaunty. I wish I could offer a bug bounty through Launchpad. :)

HDAPS works like a peach in Jaunty following the instructions at http://elf.org/x200-tablet-accelerometer !

No excuse now :)

It would be great if people would test and provide feedback for the modified test kernel Andy posted in comment 15:

On the latest karmic hdaps still doesn't work for me:
[ 8.932239] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[ 8.932241] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

It would be really great to get this fixed for the karmic release. Thanks.

~$ dmesg | grep -i aps

Same issue with karmic on a thinkpad X200

I can confirm that hdaps does not work with the default karmic kernel and a Thinkpad R60

I had my T400 working beautifully under Jaunty, but with Karmic I'm also out of luck. I'm not exactly a kernel dev, so any help would be much appreciated.

Still not working with Lucid Alpha 1 and W500:
[ 1330.722855] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[ 1330.722862] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

How do I put a bounty on this bug so that we can finally get it fixed?

I'm running Lucid Beta, on at T400, and this script: http://homepage.univie.ac.at/s.hammer/install_hdapsd worked absolutely flawlessly for me. I installed tp_smapi before, I don't know if that'd make a difference, but things are currently working beautifully. It even installed the panel applet for me.

Hi Still In Beta,

I ran that script and it looks like it installed alright. I have the panel applet with a blue play icon. But I'm not sure how to really test if it's working.

root@danicast-laptop:/home/danicast# cat /var/log/syslog | grep hdaps
Apr 14 19:30:47 danicast-laptop kernel: [ 1566.869576] hdaps: inverting axis (3) readings.
Apr 14 19:30:47 danicast-laptop kernel: [ 1566.869580] hdaps: LENOVO ThinkPad T61 detected.
Apr 14 19:30:47 danicast-laptop kernel: [ 1566.870207] input: hdaps as /devices/platform/hdaps/input/input14
Apr 14 19:30:47 danicast-laptop kernel: [ 1566.870289] hdaps: driver successfully loaded.

If I move the laptop or bang it against the desk I don't see any difference in the panel icon or in the syslog output. Am I missing something? Adjusting the sensitivity? This is on a T61 btw.

Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Sorry I got a bit ahead of myself there. After a restart the panel applet started working. It goes to pause blue icon now each time I move/hit the laptop.

NICE!

Is there a log or a file I can check that says or records each time the HDD is parked? I thought it would be on /var/log/syslog but it isn't.

Also forgot to mention this is on 9.10.

I'll run this script tomorrow on my work laptop, it's a W500. Fingers crossed.

Still In Beta, who wrote this script? Is beautiful.

Thanks again!

Ran the script on a W500 with 9.10.
The panel applet was giving an error. I had to make sure the libpanel-applet2-dev and it's dependencies was properly installed (it wasn't with the script) the ran the panel applet installation part of the script again, reboot and it is working fine.

I will still like to know where the park/unpark events are been logged to if anyone knows.

Oh yes, and who wrote this script? Very nice. Thanks!

(i had a separate bug for this on X200s but it was marked a duplicate of this, so i'm reopening this one. is that right?)
