I'm not what is required to raise the importance of the bug, but this is much more major usability problem than just "low". Given a non technical user, the screen is just black without any hints on what the user can do. This is equivalent to the system just plain crashing or freezing. A more clever user might attempt to write the password blindly, and even try pressing the caps lock if the first attempt doesn't work, but this is just unacceptable.
It's even worse in natty, where the brightness goes to zero when removing the power cable, even if all relevant settings are disabled in power management GUI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576744 Title: Unable to modify brightness when the screen is locked -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
