I hope this report wasnt completely in vain, but I reported before it was fixed, so I wouldn't know anyways.
Thanks for your time Christopher, at least I learnt a few things doing this

Title:
  [Lenovo G780] Backlight switched off at login screen

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Whenever I used to boot on ubuntu, my login screen was too dim, I
  wouldn't know my computer was switched on until I increased the
  brightness with my keyboard.

  The problem is fixed going from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
  ppa/mainline/v3.12.1-trusty/ to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
  ppa/mainline/v3.12.2-trusty/ , specifically commit
  2c62333a408f5badd2d2ffd7177f95deeccc5ca4 .

  WORKAROUND: #!/bin/sh
  cap_bright() {
     [ ! -d "$1" ] && return
      MAX=$(cat "$1/max_brightness")
      echo $MAX > "$1/brightness"
  }
  cap_bright "/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1"
  cap_bright "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight"
