Dear all! As you can read from bug description, I created Ubuntu package for saving and restoring backlight (brightness) level on laptops.
This package installs one file - "/etc/init.d/sysvinit-backlight" (sysvinit script). You can install my package from PPA with the commands below: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight You can remove it by sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight Please note: if you have installed the previous version of my script, please remove it by sudo rm /etc/rc?.d/?25backlight /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc?.d/?25brightness The script functionality is: * save backlight (brightness) levels of all video adapters on reboot and shutdown (runlevel 0 and 6) * load backlight (brightness) levels for all video adapters on boot (runlevel S and 2) * this version supports hybrid graphics The script options are: * sudo service sysvinit-backlight status (show current brightness levels and saved in files values) * sudo service sysvinit-backlight start (set saved level from files) * sudo service sysvinit-backlight stop (save current level to files) Known problems: * brightness resets to maximum on login to MATE session (may be related to https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-power-manager/issues/76) Changes: I removed all bashisms and made code more clear - thanks to Andreas Mohr (andi). I tested my package on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 14.04.2 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270579 Title: On laptops, screen brightness isn't memorized between sessions Status in Dell Sputnik: New Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Won't Fix Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: Confirmed Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1.
