Public bug reported: Adjusting the slider all the way down to minimum turns the backlight off.
The range of the slider currently is from (backlight turned-off) to (maximum back-light brightness). Expected behavior is to have slider range from (minimum acceptable brightness) to (maximum brightness). This behavior was not present in 12.04precise. In precise, at minimum brightness setting, the backlight remains on. #Brightness value obtained at minimum position of brightness slider $ cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu19 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 3 12:18:20 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-28 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu4 deja-dup 24.0-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-signon 0.0.18-0ubuntu1 indicator-datetime 12.10.2-0ubuntu3 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug quantal running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074631 Title: Minimum brightness via slider turns backlight off [12.10][HP-Compq- 6710b] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1074631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
