Title:
  Ubuntu not save brightness. The 'lower brightness' button on my
  netbook / laptop does not change gnome-power-manager setting.

Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  After install Ubuntu and boot into Ubuntu, the brightness of my laptop
  monitor is 100%.

  I press the 'lower brightness' button on my Netbook to reduce the
  brightness. But, after reboot, it will be back to 100%.

  The temporary workaround on this issue is to set the brightness by
  using gnome-power-manager. Even I lower my brightness by pressing the
  button on my netbook, the brightness does reduce but when I run gnome-
  power-manager, the brightness setting in gnome-power-manager is 100%.
  I then reduce set the brightness setting in gnome-power manager to
  lower value. After I reboot, my netbook brightness did follow the
  gnome-power-manager.

  Please fix this bug. When I press the 'lower brightness' button on my
  Netbook / Laptop, the gnome-power-manager's configuration should be
  automatically updated, so that Ubuntu will boot with new brightness
  setting.
