Cron Job Help
I need a cron job, script, or something to run every time the computer boots to disable an ACPI interrupt. The command that I pass if I run it in terminal is:

OK, so i found how to disable the ACPI interrupt that is causing the problem:
sudo su
myk@E45-B4200:~$ sudo su
root@E45-B4200:/home/myk# echo "disable" >...

Got a new laptop, a Toshiba E45-B4200. All the hardware seems to work just perfect, right out of the box. I do have an occasional hiccup, and it looks like it may be due to the process Kworker...

Unity Dash and Touchscreen Gestures?
Running Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 11. Does Unity Dash have the ability to take advantage of gestures on a touchscreen? One thing I do like with Windows 8 is that the charms stay offscreen...
realizing i didn't totally answer your question. No, adjusting the slider in the control panel does not do anything.
Loading the ideapad_laptop module kills wifi and does not change the screen brightness issue.
It is receiving the proper event from the keypress, it just isn't doing anything:

@varundra
I'll try loading that module and see what happens. As it stands, with everything as is, the hotkeys actually do work. I can control the volume with them. When I press the hotkey for...
Screen Brightness - Lenovo Yoga 2 11, Ubuntu 14.04
Installed 14.04 on a new Lenovo Yoga 2 11. Got wifi working, got multitouch working on the touchpad.

Got it resolved. Had to format the hard drive outside of installation. I think the EFI partition was giving Ubuntu (and Linux Mint) a hard time. It was freezing at Grub installation.
I was given an HP Pavilion P2-1013W. Not my first choice in hardware but I figured it'd be fine for the kids for doing papers and things for school.
Went to installation 13.10 on it. The...
