@Batuhan: I tested your workaround script and it works fine for me, thanks a lot! (HD XPS13 "Sputnik", Kubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.8.0-25-generic, BIOS A07)
Installing the ubuntu-desktop package, I also found that the onscreen display not being displayed when changing brightness seems to be a KDE bug, at least the OSD is working in an ubuntu session. slightly off-topic: could someone please point me to a website explaining how to upgrade the BIOS within ubuntu. Are there relevant differences between A07 and A08? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169376 Title: XPS13 backlight stopped working after update 3.8.0-18.28 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1169376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
