The attached log file contains gpm debug information from the following test case:
1) reduce brightness to zero 2) wait a bit 3) try to increase brightness - nothing happened 4) switch to tty1 and switch to X Step 4 occurs at line 508 in attached file. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager I discovered that is possible to lower the brightness on my laptop, an HP DV6245US, using the brightness down key, Fn+F7, until a point where the brightness is zero or off. After which pressing the brightness up key, Fn+F8, does not increase the brightness of the screen back thereby rendering my session unusable. I think the brightness level should stop before it turns off. WORKAROUND: It is possible to workaround this issue by switching to a different vty, Ctrl+Alt+F1, and then back to my desktop session by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7. The brightness has then been restored to a normal level. + + LATEST VERSION TESTED: + gnome-power-manager version 2.21.1-0ubuntu1 ** Summary changed: - possible to lower brightness all the way to off + after turning brightness off gpm does not respond to brightness up ** Attachment added: "gpm debug log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12149600/gpm.debug.log -- after turning brightness off gpm does not respond to brightness up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147772 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
