I think, that there are some issues mixed! To make it clear: The current brightness level is not saved at all on shut down. The setting is read out of System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> "Set display brightness to:" Please set this parameter to a value you like. On start up the brightness will always be as you set there. If not, this is really a bug. So please open a new bug with detailed description of your laptop.
If you like, that the current brightness level at shutdown is remembered on startup, please set the importance to wishlist. Someone explained a third issue: When laptop is idle it dims the brightness, when in active use again the brightness management is confused. If this is your problem please search related bugs for this problem. -- Laptop TFT monitor - brightness level is not saved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
