Mario, as for the lock/idle problem is a different issue. Things depend also on the hardware and how the kernel supports the notification of the kbd backlight changes, but if all is well supported this change should help: https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/unity-settings-daemon/keep-cached-kbd-backlight-updated/+merge/294662
It would be cool if you can try unity-settings-daemon with that patch. Also, please provide logs when running gdbus monitor --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower And: udevadm monitor While you use the keybindings to change the keyboard backlight and during a lock/idle/suspend cycle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510344 Title: Keyboard Backlight Turns on at boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1510344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
