[Touch-packages] [Bug 1270579] Re: Ubuntu should have an init script for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops
Right, if you boot 14.10 with systemd this should already work. But that job doesn't run under upstart. So either we wait until systemd becomes the init in Ubuntu, or we write a corresponding upstart job that calls /lib/systemd/systemd-backlight. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium = Wishlist ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu should have an init script for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops + Ubuntu should have an upstart job for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270579 Title: Ubuntu should have an upstart job for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops Status in elementary OS: New Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Opinion Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “sysvinit” package in Debian: New Bug description: I have tested many distros - Arch, OpenSuSe 13.1, Fedora 20, ALT Linux p7, Sabayon, Mageia 4.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1270579] Re: Ubuntu should have an init script for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops
This bug is a great usability problem. Let's see: 1. User boots laptop (cold boot, not wake from suspend) 2. User sets comfortable backlight level 3. User ends his/her work by shutting down the laptop (not suspend, so backlight level is not saved) 4. Go to 1 (another cold boot with reseted backlight level). According to original Ask Ubuntu thread there are many users which are interested in implementation of the aforementioned functionality. Other distros have this functionality, but Ubuntu does not. It is a disadvantage. On my laptop I (as an author of the script) have backlight save/restore functionality, but newbies does not. I think that this bug must be fixed as fast as possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270579 Title: Ubuntu should have an init script for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops Status in elementary OS: New Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Opinion Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “sysvinit” package in Debian: New Bug description: I have tested many distros - Arch, OpenSuSe 13.1, Fedora 20, ALT Linux p7, Sabayon, Mageia 4.
