I tried to reproduce this bug with Alpha release 2 of Karmic Koala (live CD). However, this behave differently then. The display never shuts down if I were to boot it from CD. If I press Ctrl+Alt+L, display simply goes blank (with background lit), and never shuts off. As stupid as it might sound, I changed the passwd to check if pretending to be a "real" user makes a difference; but it didn't! So I guess I won't be able to reproduce it with live CD.
As an aside, I noticed this behavior with Jaunty installation: I mostly use my laptop under my login (jeenu). However, I have another login for friends (guest). If it so happens that I do a "switch user" from jeenu to guest, then: * The LCD brightness is reset to maximum, no matter what preference is set in guest login. Also, it never comes back to default level, even if I switch back to jeenu - I've to crank it down manually (well, it does sometimes, but rarely) * Even if display were to sleep (either by timeout or by manually locking screen), it never shuts off! It just goes blank, with background lit. I think all these are related. I'm glad to provide you with any logs that you might require - please let me know. -- Display wakes up bright on power loss, and doesn't go off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
