Public bug reported: Problem: Both the screen backlight brightness and keyboard light are turned on during the booting as tested on ubuntu 12.04.3, 12.04.4, and 13.10. Due to installation problem on 12.04, it's only tested with the live system.
What's expected: the brightness state before booting is preserved. Some trials: the problem should be on i915 driver even in single user mode. Tried "nomodeset" kerenel arguement can avoid the problem, but X will fail to start. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279308 Title: [MacBook Air 6,2] screen backlight brightness and keyboard light turn into fully-on after Grub boot with i915 driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1279308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
