Brightness control default 0 on every boot The no power off on Acer laptops seems pretty common. trying the different available reboot= kernel parameters is worth exploring although it does not always work on Acer laptopts. The brigthness control stuff for Intel is being tracked here: 903136 hth, Michele Thank you Michele, I live with the shutdown problem, I boot into a KDE desktop and that bypassed the brightness on boot problem. cheers Paul Hi Paul,
the shutdown Acer issue might be solved in 3.12.6 due to the following patch:
Author: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz>
Date: Wed Nov 27 15:19:25 2013 -0700
PCI: Disable Bus Master only on kexec reboot
commit 4fc9bbf98fd66f879e628d8537ba7c240be2b58e upstream.
You can find a build for F19 here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=486642
If you could try it and let me know if the Acer shutdown issue is gone or not
that'd be great.
Thanks,
Michele
Hi Michele,
I copied all the files to their locations,
changed grub, but it would not boot, it started but
hung.
I have attached the message from var log, I hope it helps.
Thank you
Paul

var log message
Hi Paul, the Acer shutdown issues has been confirmed to be fixed in 3.12.6 in multiple reports now. If the issue you see is the graphical login not coming up I believe you are seeing BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046426 hth, Michele Hi Michele,
the problem with loading 3.12.6 is no boot/initramfs
I am trying to work out how to get it, it did not come with
kernel download.
Thank you for your help, it makes a difference
Paul
Hi Paul, ah I think I've seen at least one report where the initramfs did not get generated. It is created in the %post section of the kernel package. You can manually create it via: dracut /boot/initramfs-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64.img 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64 (Adjust version to the exact one you are using) Let me know how it works out. hth, Michele Hi Michele, I could not find the %post section. I ran dracut with my version and got W: /lib/modules/3.12.6-200.fc19.x86_64//modules.dep is missing. Did you run depmod? I ran depmod, but got the same error when I ran dracut again. We may cut our loses and upgrade to 20, what do you think ?, although I haven't had much luck with upgrades, and I'm living with the problem. Thank you Paul Hi Paul, usually there is no need to look at or fiddle with the post section of an rpm. Although you can take a look at it with 'rpm -q --scripts kernel' if you're interested ;) I think it might be best to wait for the 3.12.6 to hit the standard update repos for F19 and see if it fixes the issue for you. It is currently in updates testing. I tend to prefer tackling one issue at the time. It might very well be that with F20 we get other issues and then we're worse off than now ;) I hope that once it makes the updates repositories, a simple 'yum update' will help you get the new kernel on the box. hth, Michele
Hi Michele,
It did an update to 3.12.6 and the shut down problem
is no more, however on boot it usually hangs at the
network manager, ctrl alt del restart and it works.
I will live with it.
Thank you for your help.
cheers
Paul
