Danato, ok now delete the .deb files made earlier and execute the following, 
which should work if it's the fix commit:
cd linux  git checkout 2c62333a408f5badd2d2ffd7177f95deeccc5ca4  cp

backported to Trusty.

Christopher, that kernel solved the problem. The backlight was working fine on 
a boot up. 
But I'll wait for a stable release before I move to a new kernel.

[Bug 1250051] Re: [Lenovo G780] Backlight switched off at login screen

2013-11-30 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Danato, your reverse mainline kernel version testing was quite helpful in 
finding potential commits that fixed this problem. One that stands out is:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-3.12.yid=76641adddc5dc634cb7759dfa95d3d5a545678d1

I'm struggling to easily download the 3.12 branch to compile it, so I'll
mark this Triaged for now until either I figure it out, or the fix is
released into a Ubuntu kernel.

[Bug 1250051] Re: [Lenovo G780] Backlight switched off at login screen

2013-11-30 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Danato, ok so in order to verify the previously mentioned commit is indeed the 
fix, please execute the following in a terminal:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git  
cd linux  git checkout commit 9efa5e50598c5568b0678bb411b239a0b6e9a328  cp 
/boot/config-`uname -r` .config  yes '' | make oldconfig  make clean  
make -j `getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom  cd ..  
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

reboot and this kernel should fail as it is one commit prior. I'm using
the following as a reference
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild .

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Status: Triaged = Incomplete

Thanks for the bios update heads up Christopher
I booted into windows and updated my bios, but there was no change as far as I 
could see, 
and the same problem specified here persisted

sudo dmidecode -s bios-version  sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
