[Joseph Wakeling <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any chance of a _very_ hand-holdy description of how to fix this?  I ran
into the issue yesterday with my Aquaris phone (obviously the updated
image hasn't landed on the phones yet) and, as the original submitter
says, now have an effectively bricked phone (although the alarm woke me
up this morning:-).

The workaround described in comment 4 is simply not detailed enough for
me to understand what I need to do (or the risks associated with it).
In many ways I'd be more comfortable using some kind of "press these
hardware buttons in this combination to reset settings to default" kind
of option (if that exists and won't also result in my data being wiped).

For the record, my phone was AFAIK up to date in terms of OTA updates
(as in, yesterday lunchtime I'd updated the OS and apps).

Title:
  brigtness slider should not allow total darkness

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  Fix Released
Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  bq aquaris 4.5, Utopic Unicorn 20150312-002053:
  slider allows to minimize the brightess to the point of not seeing at all.
  Even if you manage to reboot (you don't see the confirmation dialogue) you still have completly dark display which effectively "bricks" the phone (no battery removal) unless you are patient enought to blindly try and hit long time enough to increase the brigtness again.
