I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on ThinkPad x230, W540, T440p, etc.
Sometimes (appears randomly) after a reboot, I try to click on "Turn on WiFi hotspot..." under WiFi settings, but it is greyed out and when I hover over it, it says "System Policy prohibits use as a hotspot".
Why is this?
I've been using Ubuntu 18.04 on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th gen for some time now with the audio working just fine, but after running some updates yesterday it seems like the audio card has stopped working when I rebooted this morning, could this be related to each other?

I have a mic mute button on my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 , but it doesn't work.
So I tried xev command to monitor press event, and that key wasn't captured.
Is there anyway to fix it , like add raw key code ?
OS & Laptop
Ubuntu 12.04 , also hope it works on Arch Linux , but doesn't matter much ;-P
Thinkpad Module: X220 4290LY9
Kernel patch for Arch Linux
FINALLY
It's a little tricky , but with the kernel patch and acpid script , it works now.
The rest I need is a notify daemon like the one for output mute , but it doesn't matter much now.
Is there a way to save my monitor settings? I have an external monitor at work, but each morning i have to plug it in, rearrange the windows from being side by side to being on top of each other. Can I just save this?
I'm running Ubuntu on my Thinkpad T60. Is there a way to get the middle button to act like a scroll like it would when it runs Windows?
I'd like to be able to hold the middle button down and scroll down a webpage using the red button.
