This bug affects me as well. There are a lot of use cases where this happens either a user disables the screen (working on a second monitor) or the automatic features disable it. If the PC/laptop is then locked there is no way of enabling the backlight.
This should be enabled for the main shortcuts like: - Backlight - Keyboard backlight - Volume And could be enabled for the media buttons (play/pause) I experience this bug multiple times a week so as Tomi Pieviläinen said the importance could be higher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576744 Title: Unable to modify brightness when the screen is locked -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
