[Bug 1247088] Re: Display backlight off after boot

 

Borph, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine 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:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

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.

** Description changed:

- Reproducable, every time when I boot, I experience following:
+ Every time I boot past the BIOS screen, screen turns purple (Ubuntu
+ color), screen turns black and backlight off (really black), and GDM
+ drumroll can be heard.
  
- - BIOS screen
- - Screen turns purple (Ubuntu color)
- - Screen turns black and backlight off (really black)
- - GDM drumroll can be heard.
- 
- Simply pressing the hardware key "increase backlight" brings back the
- backlight. Still annoying.
- 
- Ubuntu 13.10 Lenovo P330
+ WORKAROUND: Press "increase backlight" key brings back the backlight.
