Public bug reported: After upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 brightness control on unity no longer works. When pressing the brightness control keys, the brightness "progress bar" is shown, but the change has usually no effect.
Sometimes it does change to from 100% brightness to very dim (0%?), but doesn't change back. Usually it has no effect. In 13.04 it worked fine. This is very similar problem with these bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1245288 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1249219 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-17.31-generic 3.11.10.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Mar 2 16:40:03 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-06-02 (638 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2014-02-28 (1 days ago) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager 0.9.7-0ubuntu4 deja-dup 27.3.1-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-datetime 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-signon 0.1.7~+13.10.20130724.1-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-unity 1.3+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1286816 Title: brightness control breaks after 13.04 -> 13.10 upgrade on lenovo e325 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1286816/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
