[Bug 92194] HAL is not built with libsmbios

Wed Mar 14 10:29:35 UTC 2007

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

Your new "Brightness" applet that now ships with Gnome 2.18 does not work with Ubuntu Feisty because you have built HAL without --with-dell-backlight
Please recompile HAL and include this build flag. I filed a bug at gnome.org, but the maintainer told me that this is an ubuntu bug, because HAL is not built correctly. This will mean that  you will have to include the libsmbios package on ubuntu by default. It's needed though, because without it the brightness applet just doesn't work.

** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
