[Bug 913625] [NEW] Brightness level resets to Highest Setting at every boot

 

Public bug reported:

The Highest Setting for Brightness on my Lenovo laptop computer is too
bright. To improve the appearance and conserve energy I lower the
brightness setting by about a third of the way.

> System Settings
> Screen
> Brightness

Unfortunately, every single time I boot the computer, Ubuntu resets the
Brightness Setting back to the Highest possible setting. This means that
EVERY time I boot into Ubuntu, I have to bring up System Settings >
Screen and reduce the brightness. This is really annoying!

Ubuntu needs to "remember" what level of brightness I set and "preserve"
this settings through Restarts and Shutdowns.
