[Bug 1311187] Re: Screen brightness set to maximum on every boot on HP Pavilion dv6 TR7040x

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Screen brightness set to maximum on every boot on HP Pavilion dv6
  TR7040x

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 TR7040x.  Every time I (re)boot into
  Ubuntu 14.04, the screen brightness is set to maximum.  This happens
  independent of my earlier setting.  I reduce the brightness, and
  continue my work.  When I reboot, it is reset to maximum brightness.

  This is a regression, and has existed since the daily builds of early
  February.  On the same laptop, Ubuntu 12.04.4 does not exhibit this
  problem.
