In case there are others that had the same misunderstanding I had...I thought this bug affects me but it turns out it doesn't. First after reboot I can see that my brightness settings are not lost on reboot (the 2nd part of this bug). However I still believed the first part of the bug affected me since I couldn't see how to distinguish the brightness setting when I was on AC vs when I was on battery.
However, after some testing I found that different brightness settings for AC and batter do work (at least for me) ...it is just extremely unintuitive. Try this to see if, like me, this bug doesn't affect you. Go into brightness setting on AC. set it all the way up to the top. Close the brightness settings window. Now unplug your laptop. Now go back into the brightness setting and set it to be medium brightness. Close the brightness window. Now plug your laptop in and then unplug it. If this is working for you, as it does for me, you'll notice a visible difference in the brightness setting for your screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873731 Title: Screen brightness ignores AC power in 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/873731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
