Public bug reported: I can never get the screen brightness to obey me on ubuntu. It's to the point where I'd move to Mint. The setting is simply a checkbox in the settings, and when unchecked, apparently the screen still follows the "90 seconds" until dimming the screen.
It should stay bright :/ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-39.66-generic 3.13.11.8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-39-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon Date: Sat Nov 22 19:46:15 2014 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bcmwl, 6.30.223.141+bdcom, 3.13.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed bcmwl, 6.30.223.141+bdcom, 3.13.0-39-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:040b] InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-11 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) MachineType: Dell Inc.
