[Bug 1471634] Re: After suspend/resume, screen brightness can only be switched between 0 and 100%

 

Chris Cowan, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  After suspend/resume, screen brightness can only be switched between 0
  and 100%

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have the same issue as described in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1197482. I have a
  macbook running Ubuntu 15.04, and if I suspend and then unsuspend,
  then my screen turns off when I set the brightness to to below 85%ish
  (4 presses of the brightness down key from full), and it's at full
  brightness when it's anywhere above that. Brightness controls work
  perfectly fine after booting before I ever suspend.
