As far as I can tell, it probably is, so I'm marking it as such. Btw, although the workaround of a user-level setting to never dim the screen works in part, the screen will also dim on lightdm before anyone has logged in, if one waits long enough. Then the screen also cannot be rebrightened, and logging in does not reawaken/rebrighten it. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 872652 screensaver backlight stuck off, system looks hung -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861389 Title: after screen dims (idle / screensaver), cannot rebrighten it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/861389/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
