Public bug reported: After recent updates, the backlight doesn't work after suspend on my Asus UX32VD laptop. The hotkeys work as far as the Unity graphical indicator goes, but there is no change in backlight. The hotkeys used to work, and have worked for the last couple of years.
Backlight is restored and does work after restarting, but can no longer be modified after suspend. This is the output from ls /sys/class/backlight > backlight "acpi_video0 acpi_video1 intel_backlight" This is the output from grep -r . /proc/acpi > acpi ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic 3.13.0-39.66 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-39.66-generic 3.13.11.8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-39-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: rasmus 2439 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: rasmus 2439 F...m pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Nov 12 08:22:20 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=49ecb728-6268-4421-9baf-b50a95225410 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-08-10 (823 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
