[Bug 1030219] [NEW] Ubuntu doesn't remember hardware settings on reboot

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Some hardware options, such as screen brightness, bluetooth and wireless
on/off state and touchpad on/off led light.

Whenever I turn on my laptop, the screen brightness is always on
maximum, no matter how it was before shutdown; the bluetooth and wifi
are always off. The touchpad is ok (if I turn it off, then reboot, it is
sill off); the problem here lays on the touchpad status led: no matter
what's the real state of the touchpad, the led is always off when I turn
the computer on. The following scenario describes it better:

(The led on is supposed to indicate when the touchpad is off)

Touchpad ON -> Led OFF (OK, so I turn it off)
Touchpad OFF -> Led ON (OK, let's reboot)
Touchpad OFF -> Led OFF (Here lays the problem: the touchpad is still off, but the led is on)

To get things normal again I have reboot the laptop with the led on, so
the led will be off and everything will be in sync again.

My laptop is a Dell XPS 15 (L502X)
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I don't know what additional information I can provide (such as log
files), but I'll be happy to provide any helpful resource.
